The pomegranate breaks the blood of the orangutan muscle, and the phoenix tail is yellow. This is a verse depicted by Liu Zhongyin of the Jin Dynasty in "Nangezi" that the hardness of the durian skin contrasts with the yellow flesh of the inside. Durian, called "Tuliang" by Southeast Asian countries, belongs to the order of Malvacea, Malvaceae giant tropical evergreen tree, because of its strong smell, those who love it praise its fragrance, and those who hate it complain about its smell.
But it has to be said that durian has extremely high nutritional value, it not only contains a large number of vitamins, a variety of amino acids, folic acid, fat, but also rich in calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and other trace elements. Eating it often can alleviate weakness and enhance the body's resistance, so durian is also known as the "king of fruits".
Because of the soft and mellow taste of durian and the fact that it contains a lot of nutrients that are beneficial to health, it is loved by everyone. According to statistics, China can eat about 800,000 tons of durian a year, accounting for 91% of the world's total durian production!
If you are lucky, you can buy durian with thin skin and sweet meat, and if you are unlucky, it is simply equivalent to buying a durian for "revenge"! Moreover, Brother Qiang found that many friends buy durian, only pick the big one, thinking that the larger the durian, the more flesh in it. In fact, there are also skills in buying durian, and Brother Qiang will tell you in detail about the tricks of buying durian, after reading it, make sure that when you go to buy durian again, you can pick one accurately, all of which are "gratitude" durians with thin skin and meat!
6 tips for buying durian
1. Pick the round but not the sharp
Generally speaking, the longer the durian, the bigger it looks. But let's think about it carefully, most of the "revenge" durians are bloomed in this body shape! On the contrary, the more round the durian, the fuller the flesh inside. The reason why this happens in durians is because the round durians are already growing and mature, while the pointed durians are not yet ripe, basically all shells, and there is very little flesh!
But be careful! This method is not applicable to the Golden Pillow Durian, because the body shape of the Golden Pillow Durian itself is on the long side, and the tail is also pointed. So, before buying durian, remember to ask about the varieties of durian, and then go to choose!
2. Pick the drum and not the concave
The meaning of this trick is actually very easy to understand, the durian shell with meat is bulging, on the contrary, if the durian shell does not have an obvious bulging "meat bag", or there is a sunken part, it means that these places of the durian must have no pulp or very small flesh.
3. The more petals, the more pulp
As we all know, the more petals a durian has raised, the more pulp it contains, so when choosing a durian, you must choose a durian with a large number of petals, so that you can buy a high probability of having more pulp. On the contrary, the less petals of durian, the less the number of pulp it must have, so there is no need to try to choose such a durian, which is a waste of money.
4. The flatter the stalk, the fuller the flesh
Secondly, when you choose durian, you must look at the stem of the durian. Generally speaking, the flatter the stalk of the durian, the fuller its flesh will be, on the contrary, the pointed shape here indicates that the ripeness is not enough, either the flesh is not full enough, or the flesh does not taste so fragrant.
In addition, the thicker the durian stalk, the fresher and more "dry" the durian, especially if it is relatively short, then such a durian must have been picked and stored for a long time.
5. Be soft and not hard
When buying durian, be sure to pinch the thorns on the durian shell with your hands. Generally speaking, if the two adjacent spikes are pinched by hand, if they can be pinched, it means that the durian is ripe, and the flesh is guaranteed to be soft and glutinous and sweet;
6. Pick the seam and not the crack
Some people say: When buying durian, you must not buy durian with cracks, because there will be bacteria breeding or dust falling in, and you must buy the kind of durian that does not open your mouth. In fact, the durian already has a crack, which happens to be one of the key points for us to observe whether the durian has more flesh and less flesh, and whether it is ripe or not!
For example, if a durian does not open its mouth at all, the amount of flesh inside can only be judged by the above five points, but it is impossible to fully understand the internal situation! However, if the crack of the durian is wide open, there is indeed a situation of bacterial growth. So, how can you choose a durian that can see the inside of the durian clearly without allowing bacteria to grow in the cracks?
In fact, picking durian is very simple, you only need to choose this kind of durian with only a slight crack! Once the durian has cracks, it marks that it is completely ripe, this kind of durian only has cracks but no cracks, and there is no problem of bacterial invasion and breeding! Therefore, we can pry a little gap slightly through this crack to see the condition of the flesh inside.
