WIKIPEDIA - The durian (/ˈdjʊəriən, ˈdʊr-, -æn/) is the fruit of several
tree species belonging to the genus Durio. There are 30 recognised
Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit, with over
300 named varieties in Indonesia, 100 in Thailand and 100 in Malaysia.
Named in some regions as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for
its large size, strong odour, and thorn-covered rind. The fruit can grow
as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in
diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb).
Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to
brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species.
