How to pick a durian
1) Look at the fruit and its spike tips. The fruit should look fresh and slightly green; likewise the spike tips should be moist and fresh looking.
2) Hold the fruit close to your nose and take a whiff. It should smell pungent and fresh. Due to its high sugar content, a durian starts to decay within a day of harvesting.
3) Make sure that the fruit is fully intact without any cracks at the base, and a body that is bulging. Look for the squirrel's bite as it indicates that this particular fruit is the best of the crop.
4) It is believed that a durian with an elongated shape yields better and thicker flesh.
5) Shake the fruit and listen for dull, hollow knocks as it indicates that the flesh is slightly dry and not too soft, which is a sign of over-ripeness.
