Our Durian

Black Thorn, also known as O Shei, varies a lot in terms of size, but can be recognized by it is perfectly plump pumpkin shape and squat little stem, about as long as a thumb. The bottom has a little belly-button indent that protects the durian’s dried up flower stamen from breaking off as it grows, creating a blackened “thorn” that protrudes and gives the durian its name.

Monthong durians are large fruits, averaging 3 to 5 kilograms, and generally have an oval to cylindrical, tapered shape, sometimes found with irregular bumps, creating a heart-like appearance. The fruit’s surface is covered in pointed, densely packed triangular spikes and ranges in color from pale green, light brown, to golden-brown. Underneath the spiny surface, there is a white, spongy interior with multiple chambers encasing lobes of flesh.

Durian is a richly pungent tropical fruit that is commonly referred to as the king of all fruit. Musang King, known as Mao Shan Wang or D197, is dubbed the “king of kings”
