Was wondering if the fruit has an offensive smell when cut or does it emit an odor even if when it's whole.
ReplyDeleteWe have something similar the jackfruit but only the overripe ones emit a funny to some but pleasant for others odor when left whole.
Singapore has the highest per capita consumption of durians in the world.
ReplyDeleteThe smell is offensive to visitors outside of SE Asia, but heavenly to the locals. The smell is ever present, whole or open.
