Durian (Fruit)
Durio zibethinus is the most common tree species in the genus Durio that are
known as durian and have edible fruit also known as durian. As with most other
durian species, the edible flesh emits a distinctive odour that is strong and
penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as having
a pleasantly sweet fragrance; others find the aroma overpowering and revolting.
The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has
been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. The
persistence of its odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and
public transportation in Southeast Asia.
There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit.
D. zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species
are sold in their local regions. There are hundreds of cultivars of D. zibethinus;
many consumers express preferences for specific cultivars, which fetch higher
prices in the market.
