DURIAN ADDICT IN ME :-)

" SMELLS LIKE HELL, TASTES LIKE HEAVEN".

 This is what this fruit is all about. I so love this fruit since birth. Whatever the variety, I always find myself craving for this stuff. My year is incomplete without tasting and get enough of this yummy food. According to what I read, Durian is also known a s" THE KING OF FRUITS". Aye! Aye! for the KING! This fruit needless to say is very much fit for the title. It is distinctive for its large size, unique odor and formidable thorn-covered husk.

During season, this fruit costs less ranging from 15 pesos to 30 pesos. So sad if it costs 80-90 pesos per kilo during off-peak season.  You just have to watch out your consumption because this Durian fruit contains a high amount of sugar, Vitamin C, Potassium, and is a good source of Carbohydrates,  Proteins, and fats. It is recommended as a good source of raw fats by several raw food advocates while others classify it as a high-glycemic  food, recommending to minimize its consumption.

Here in Davao City, you can find cheapest Durians during peak seasons at Bankerohan Public Market. Other areas like the Madrazo Fruit Stand, and Magsaysay Durian Stalls sell quite reasonably also.
