Due to its size, it is rather heavy. Like most fruits, the durian has many seeds. Each seed is covered with a layer of yellow flesh. The taste of the flesh can be bitter, sweet, or combination of both. Unlike other fruits, the durian gives off a very distintive pungent smell.
Some people find that it smells like garlic or rotten eggs.
Others just simply find it replusive. The harvesting of durians is also very interesting. Instead of plucking the thorny fruits still hanging from the tree, the farmers have to wait for the fruits to fall. That takes place mostly during the night. The durian is my favorite fruit.
