DURIAN - Health Benefits and Nutritional Facts

DURIAN, Scientific Name :  Masangsangus Amoyus

A fruit native to Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines, Durian is considered as "king of fruits" in these countries. Famous for its distinct and over-powering smell (smells like a rotten onion, as they say), Durian, to some, is the most delicious fruit. Turned-off by that rotten smell, most people will not try and take a bite. But once you've taken your first taste, you'll get hooked (its true, be warned).
