Tag: chemically treated durian

The durian, revered as the "king of fruits" in Southeast Asia, presents a unique challenge due to its perishable nature when ripe. This elusive fruit, with its formidable spikes and potent aroma, becomes highly susceptible to damage during transportation when ripe. To circumvent this issue, traders often opt for unripe durians, chemically ripening them before selling to consumers, a practice that compromises the fruit's natural perfection.
