It is durian season again! Durian (榴莲) season occurs between the months of June and September, with a “minor season” from December to February. During this time, durian prices drop significantly as supply increases – providing durian-lovers more opportunities to indulge in fresh, great-tasting durians. So, just how good is durian for you?

Here are some nutrition facts and health benefits of the King of Fruits.

Durians contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fats (which help to lower bad LDL cholesterol), vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and iron and have a high fibre content (about 3g in a large 80g seed).

Durians are also rich in polyphenols such as flavonoids and carotenoids – compounds which have antioxidant properties and may decrease the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes if taken as part of a healthy diet.

Despite packing a nutritional punch, durians are energy-dense and can lead to weight gain if eaten frequently and in large amounts. People with diabetes should be mindful that larger seeds contain higher amounts of carbohydrate thus can increase blood sugar levels.

This box of Durians (榴莲) contains the seeds of four small durians at S$5 per fruit. You pick the fruits and the seller will open and pack them in Styrofoam box for you. Although the durian are of unnamed variety, they were still sweet and creamy in taste. And yes, I limited myself to just two seeds as I am controlling my blood sugar level.

When I Skip My Flavonoids

The night starts out

Young and pretty and sparkly

Turning into shades of bitter

Pangs of old aches

As the minutes drip by

Pooling into a new day

A salad full of raw vegetables without olive oil is almost useless. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble, meaning our bodies can’t absorb and use them unless fat (olive oil/ coconut oil / ghee / avocado oil) is present. Also flavonoids and other polyphenols are enhanced if we add fat. That’s why it’s a good idea to always add olive oil as dressing.
