Lisa suggests storing durians on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, away from other foods. She explains,“ Because of its stinky smell, it could permeate other foods. Once durian is cut, it should be tightly wrapped and stored in the refrigerator. Durian will last for about 5 days after it’s been cut. Durian fruit can also be stored in the freezer once cut. It must be wrapped very tightly and will last a few months. This helps prevent it from getting freezer burn or having the smell take over other food in the freezer.”
