Love it or hate it - Durian is truly out of this world!
Honestly, westerners don't like this fruit. If you have never seen Durian you must do a Google Search. A fresh fruit in Thailand is very spiny, dark green, about 15 inches long and 8 to 10 inches in diameter.
It is called the King f the Fruits here in Thailand. It is very tasty and very expensive. A single fruit is about 3 KG and costs 120 Baht a Kilo, that is about $3.75. So that single fruit is about $11.25. And that is off the back of a truck on the street, not in a nice store.
The Thais are going to send Durian into outer space in July. The fruit - that has people swooning and revolted by its smell and taste - will be sent to the heavens in what scientists say will be the first Thai food to leave earth.
The idea to send the dried version of the fruit is part of the National Space Exploration group's "Thai Food to Space" project. The Thais think that one day durian could be the choice of discerning and hungry astronauts, reported Sanook.
The edible fruit is creamy golden pillows inside this green spiny monster. The inedible flesh surrounding these pillows is about an 1/2 inch thick membrane inside the 1/4 spiny layer. When the pillow is finally free the cost of the pillow works out to close to 575 Baht a Kilo. That is about $9.00 a pound. But you can have a taste of real Durian much more affordably.
