Durian is a popular fruit in Indonesia, especially in my hometown of Aceh. Its creamy flesh is highly favored by durian enthusiasts, but many also avoid it due to its pungent odor. However, despite its delicious taste, durian fruit should be considered carefully. According to research, one durian contains as many calories as a small bowl of rice. A single durian seed alone contains approximately 74 kcal. Its sweet, smooth, and fragrant flavor make durian a favorite fruit for many, especially in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.

In fact, some durian varieties contain as much as several teaspoons of sugar per seed. The Musang King durian variety contains 59 kcal. Kampung durian is a lighter choice, containing 29 kcal per seed, equivalent to one teaspoon of sugar. The Black Thorn variety, on the other hand, contains 56 kcal. Consuming four to five premium durian seeds is equivalent to a full plate of white rice with added sugar. It's recommended to limit durian consumption to 2 to 3 seeds per day, choosing lower-sugar options. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney problems are advised to be extra cautious and not eat more than one durian seed per day.

With its complete vitamin and mineral content, durian fruit has good benefits for health. Antioxidants, vitamins B, C, and E, as well as phytonutrients in durian fruit can fight cancer and free radicals. The high folic acid content in durian is very important in producing hemoglobin and reducing the condition of anemia. Durian can also strengthen bones because durian fruit is rich in calcium, potassium and vitamin B. The content of these substances in durian fruit is useful for maintaining healthy teeth and bones. Durian leaves and roots can be used as a medicine for fever, while juice from fresh durian leaves can be used for malaria medicine.
