Food Find: Durian
This edition of Bon Appetit’s Food Find is going to feature a food that I bet you’ve never heard of before. It’s called Durian! Now on a previous edition, the Mind, Body, Live family had shared with you Jackfruit and even a yummy recipe using jackfruit as well. If you look at the picture of the durian, you might say to yourself, “Wait… isn’t this jackfruit.” You would be mistaken! Often confused, jackfruit and durian, and not one in the same, but durian does have some interesting benefits. Let me first tell you how I came across this.
Living in China, and documenting my travels on my youtube channel Roads Less Traveled, I’m often pushing myself to try new things. Reason #1 being that it’s always good to try something new, and reason #2 being that I love to show my viewers the different things I come across in China-life.
One thing I must say is durian is EVERYWHERE in China. I have also seen it around South East Asia often and after the millionth time of seeing durian pizza, durian lays chips, and durian candy, I had to wonder, what is this fruit that people here love. I finally adventured out and tried it… and it was interesting to say the least.
So, here is it. Benefits of Durian include: strengthening cardiovascular health, reduces cholesterol, helps prevent cancer and anemia, boosts bone health and even relieves insomnia!
Although these are just the beginning of benefits that durian has, there must be a reason that everyone here in Asia is going crazy over it.
