In this season of durian fragrance, dear "durian controllers", have you ever stood in front of the dazzling durian pile, facing all kinds of durians, and there is a trace of confusion in your heart, not knowing how to choose the "mother durian" with thick and fragrant flesh and sweet honey? Today, Sister Huizi will teach you the four stunts of selecting durian, helping you to pick the right one time and never be a big boss again!
The first move: look at the face
Among the many durians, the golden one is locked at a glance. The high-quality "mother durian" has a uniform skin color and is as golden as a ripe wheat field, which is a sign that it has reached a ripe level suitable for consumption. However, avoid picking durians with cracks or breakage on the surface, as they are like treasure chests eroded by time, which may hide dirt and dirt and affect the quality of durians.
Secondary move: tactile exploration
Stretch out your fingertips and gently rub over the durian skin to discover the secrets of its texture. The ideal "mother durian" shell should be tough but not hard, slightly elastic, as if telling the fullness and mellowness inside. If the shell feels too soft or too hard, it may indicate that the durian is either not fully ripe or overripe, and it does not have the best taste.
Three tricks: smell and find fragrance
Get close to the durian, smell it deeply, and let the rich aroma lead you to find the "mother durian" in your heart. A truly good durian, with its strong and evenly distributed aroma, like a warm embrace of a tropical rainforest, which is intoxicating. If the aroma is weak or mixed with peculiar smells, then this durian may not be of good quality and difficult to enter your eyes.
Four tricks: shake lightly to distinguish quality
Pick up the durian, shake it gently, and listen to its inner language. The high-quality "mother durian" has a tight and solid flesh, and there is no obvious sound when shaken. If the sound is hollow when shaking, it means that the flesh may be loose, and the taste will be greatly reduced.
