I'm told that this fruit is like a double edged sword and you have a love/hate relationship with it? You either love it or hate it!! It has a very strong pungent aroma but if you can get past the smell, the fruit itself is heavenly?? The smell is so strong that airlines forbid carrying this fruit on board the plane!! I'm not sure if it can be grown here in Australia but is common in the SE-Asian tropical region? I believe that the fruit is versatile in that it can be used in various foods, e.g. ice cream, pastry or even a drink!

Durian is THE KING OF FRUIT...I'm from Indonesia, and I really love it. Although some people maybe not like it because of the smell... The taste of the fruit is so rich, and it has some vitamins too in it. But, don't it too much or it will make you drunk because it has a little bit alcohol in it.
If you want to eat this fruit, before please make sure your blood pressure. If you have high BP, please don't try to eat this fruit cause it will make your BP higher.
You can transform this fruit become anything, ice cream, cakes, smoothies, it will be very delicious because of its rich taste.
I live in Adelaide now, actually when I was pregnant my first baby (he was born on August) I was really craving of this fruit, but only the smell. Unfortunately I couldn't find the fresh durian here :(( so sad,,,,,
