Food Preparation
You open the Durian with a large knife along the fracture lines
which can be observed running from the stem to the base. Prise the
knife into one of these lines and lever the knife with force. Usually
eaten fresh, but it can also be cooked with sticky rice or mixed
with sugar as a preservative. Often used as a flavouring in cakes
or icecream.
