Durians are naturally-grown fruits and produce seeds for reproduction. The seeds come in big and small sizes, and the only way to detect big seeds is to eat the pulp.

Durian supply from Malaysia is sorted according to weight, shape and size, not via quality or taste profile. 1 basket of durians may consist of MSW durians from different plantations, and the durian taste profile is usually varied as it is a naturally-grown fruit. Therefore, order from Buttery Gold Durians to enjoy taste preference choices.

Durian trees are notoriously difficult to maintain and harvest, and the fruit quality and yield are unpredictable. That is why MSW durians are prized and expensive. If cheap MSW durians are for sale, the quality is usually poor, and sometimes cheaper Thai durians or other varieties are passed off as MSW. That is why you should order from Buttery Gold Durians as we only receive MSW supply and inspect all durians.

All trees are able to produce durians with green or grey husks, regardless of their age. The husk color depends on the weather conditions and the amount of sunlight the tree receives. Due to varying weather patterns, both young and mature trees may drop durians that are either unripe, too dry, or too moist.

If the durian seller only opens the base to show you, you must inform him to open every section, or guarantee you a 1-to-1 swap for every inedible pulp. A durian may consist of edible and inedible pulp in different chambers, sometimes even in the same chamber! That is why you should order from Buttery Gold Durians as we curate every durian pulp before packing.
