Durian vs Young Coconut

I've tried a durian smoothie, dried durian, young coconuts, but have never experienced straight fresh durian. Which do you like better, durian or young coconuts, and why? :)

Lately when I get it I have to eat it fast and hidden away in my room like a junkie with the windows open.... I'm trying to sell my house and although I no longer can detect an odor, I'm terrified of scaring away potential buyers, that have no clue what it is. I long for the day I can sit back and enjoy my durian without anxiety!; ▶ Reply to This

But flavor-wise, it would have to be durian.; ▶ Reply to This

They are both great, divine foods and should both be eaten whenever you have the opportunity! Durian is highly nutritious, and it's also very rich so I am easily satisfied with a few pods at a time, likely due to the fat content. Young coco meat is is just as luscious in a much lighter way. I love both!; ▶ Reply to This

I like young coconut too but durian is more of an indulgence.; ▶ Reply to This

Yes, the young Thai coconuts have been banned from places focused on healing with foods. I think the tree of life gets some of their coconuts from Mexico now.; ▶ Reply to This
