THE KING of fruits, the durian, is one of South-East Asia’s most prized fruits. While some might find the pungent aroma overbearing, many relish it. The bittersweet creamy taste of durians is unrivalled to its fans. Love it or loathe it, its fame spread across continents. Durians seem to be abundant now; you may have noticed that they have been sold throughout the year, especially in recent years.
Unlike other domestically-grown fruits like bananas and pineapples, a durian tree takes years - sometimes eight to 10 - to grow and bear fruit, and is still technically a seasonal fruit.
But if you are wondering why some stalls seem to have a never-ending supply of the fruit, that’s because the harvesting season varies among the different types of durians as well as the states it is grown in such as Pahang, Penang and Johor. Also, durians are imported from our neighbours like Thailand and Vietnam.
