Durian - Ceremony
My name is IVAN - I’m a durian enthusiast and connoisseur.
With me, you’ll dive into the world of durian’s incredible flavors and truly appreciate this wonderful creation of nature.
I first tried durian in 2018. I still eat it regularly to this day.
Thais call durian the King of Fruits, and not without reason:
1. Durian contains a wide range of nutrients, including vitamins C, A, E, the B-complex, and folates. It’s also an excellent source of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and manganese, which are essential for maintaining overall health.
2. Immune support: thanks to its high vitamin C content, durian helps strengthen the immune system and protect the body from various infections and inflammatory processes. The fruit also contains antioxidants that help fight free radicals and support overall health.
3. Skin health: durian is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that promote collagen production and help maintain healthy skin. Regular consumption can improve elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and support a natural glow.
4. Heart health: durian contains high levels of potassium, which help lower blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risks. In addition, this fruit is rich in beta-sitosterol, which helps reduce blood cholesterol levels.
5. Energy boost: durian contains carbohydrates, an important source of energy for the body. Eating durian can help improve endurance and replenish energy stores after physical activity.
Yes, durian contains sulfur, although the amount may vary from fruit to fruit. Sulfur in durian is a natural element and carries certain benefits. It plays an important role in many biochemical processes in the body, helping to support healthy skin, hair, and nails, and it is an important component in collagen formation.
Savoring the aroma and taste of durian is a true pleasure.
Durian is often called an aphrodisiac because of its intense aroma and flavor, which can create a sensual atmosphere and stimulate the senses. In various cultures, durian is associated with erotic symbolism and is considered a food that promotes sexual arousal. However, the degree of its effect on libido is subjective and depends on each person’s preferences and reactions.
With my help, you’ll try delicious, perfectly ripe durians. Quite often in Thai stalls you might be sold overripe or underripe fruit, and you won’t be able to fully enjoy its extraordinary taste.
General recommendations before the durian ceremony:
1. It’s best to come on an empty stomach.
2. Do not consume alcohol before or after the durian ceremony.
