If you are new to Durian fruits then the very first sight of this fruit could remind you of a
porcupine! Credit goes to the spikes present on this henna-green skinned fruit. The
flesh, in contrast, is rich, juicy, and succulent. The flesh emits a very strong smell, which
could ideally dissuade a first-time eater from trying it. Despite possessing a very
strong odor, it is known to have a fantastic effect on the taste buds. Unique in taste,
this fruit is packed with assorted nutrients and hence, offers benefits that surely are
noteworthy.

A single durian weighs nearly 602 grams and is a good source of energy. 100 grams of
this fruit renders about 147 Kcal of energy, which is about 7% of the Recommended
Dietary Allowance (RDA).

The fruit does not contain any cholesterol, but is a great source of dietary fiber and
protein. Let’s take a look at the benefits offered by the ‘King of Fruits’ before you start
munching on it.

depression (2 (http://www.naturalnews.com/026800_durian_fruit_healing.html#)).

Vitamin C is found in abundance in this fruit. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that
helps to keep the oxidative stress prompted by free radicals at bay (4

5. For a healthy digestive system

The presence of dietary fiber in durian helps in easing bowel movement. This in turn
keeps away constipation and improves the power of digestion. The presence of
thiamin and niacin improves appetite as well as digestive power, thus ensuring that
your digestive system stays healthy (5 (http://blogs.naturalnews.com/durians-myths-

of blood sugar levels (6 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3156450/)).
Hence, it can be relished by diabetics without any fear.

8. Beneficial for Anaemic patients

Folate, if not present in adequate quantities, could lower the amount of red blood cells
produced. This in turn can trigger anaemia. Durian is a good source of folate along
with copper and iron (8 (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fs144)). Hence, anaemic patients can
tap the power of this fruit to overcome the health condition.
