A big, spiky fruit called the “King of Fruits” — famous for its super strong smell and soft, creamy, sweet taste inside!
Durian (doo-ree-AHN) – The name is the same in Filipino and English.
Durian smells really strong (some people even say stinky!), but the taste is sweet, buttery, and yummy — like ice cream mixed with bananas and vanilla! The inside is soft and yellow like custard.
In the Philippines, kids and families enjoy durian fresh, or in fun treats like durian ice cream, candies, and milkshakes — especially in Davao City, where durian grows the best!
Durian season in the Philippines is from August to November — that’s when it smells the strongest and tastes the sweetest!
Durian gives lots of energy and has vitamins and fiber to help your tummy and body stay strong.
