Dr JB Lim comments on DURIANS: If you are all paying through your noses for durians, I did made several measurements during the last durian seasons on the weight of edible pulp compared to the husk and seeds. The results were just some 4 - 6 % of the whole durian are edible, but you are paying the rest for their thorny husk and inedible seeds as well. I made several weight and price measurements. It works out that even for the cheapest kampung durians, it was some RM 85 you are paying for just 100 gm, or RM 850 per kilogram of the edible flesh which does not include seeds and or plastic trays. Now do you wish to eat durians to enrich the durian sellers who sell you mostly thorns and seeds? A durian a day keeps your high blood pressure, diabetes, and the doctor a visiting, and your credit card empty (but not my RM 3 broken plastic purse) .
