- DURIAN coming with its delicious flesh always teases its lover or those passing nearby
- Aside from being consumed, it can also be taken advantage to make various kinds of cakes
Durian is one of the favorite fruits of the Indonesian people. The flesh of the fruit is very delicious and the aroma is also very strong. Durian lovers can be addicted, too. Since it does not bear fruit throughout the season, this fruit is always awaited by its lovers.
The durian tree blooms two months after entering the dry season. Then, the durian fruit will ripen about seven months after flowering.
When the harvest season comes, around October onwards, the durian will flood the market across the archipelago. Tourists can buy it at the nearest supermarket, traditional market, roadside stalls or other places.
A number of durian farmers usually sell their durian fruit directly on the tree to merchants. While some others, choose to take care of their own harvest or wait in their own garden house and then farmers pick up the falling durians.
Well, on routes with heavy traffic, such as roads along the Denpasar-Gilimanuk or Denpasar-Singaraja routes, it is easy to find farmers who sell their crops directly. Similarly, in other areas around the garden location there are also those who sell ripe durians.
Aside from being eaten directly, durian is also used as a mixture to make cakes or pastries. Of course, the cake as a durian derivative product is unique with a natural taste.
