Kradum Thong durian is one of the most authentic varieties of durian from Thailand because there has been no gene manipulation or hybridization. The flavour is concentrated, richer and more sweet than an RI-6 or Monthong durian. 

If you've never tried durian then what we just said probably makes no sense to you. All you need to know is that durian has a sharp exterior that could probably be considered a weapon in most situations. If having a durian thrown at you doesn't knock you then you can be sure that the smell will.

Preparation Ideas: Durian is nature's dessert, but if you're looking to go beyond eating it fresh there are some very interesting recipes. Use your Durian to make: soufflé, fritters, doughnuts, ice cream, popsicles, or into a cream for your coffee. If desserts aren't your thing then a Pengat or chicken and Durian curry are classics.
