Secrets Of Durian Sellers Revealed

Hello Durian Lovers

I ( unknown) was a durian seller for more 30 years since 1960’s.

I am revealing some durian sellers dirty tricks & the quality of the durians.This year the durians are very expensive & hope readers will decide after reading it.1) never buy durian from display packaging pack why? becos the seller will assemble overnight or half spoilt durians into packaging pack & sell at fixed price.Actually overnight durians are almost worthless & easily get bad.If the durians taste sour pls stop eating & throw away the pack.

2) pls do not eat branded durians like Mao Shan Wang/D24/red prawns & others why? the durian farmers will spray toxic chemicals at the tree roots/bark & durians to prevent flying fox/snake/insects & others from attacking their expensive durians.As a result you can hardly see housefly & ants at the durian stalls nowadays.

3) FYI I lost 2 good friends ( died from throats cancer) by eating branded durians for few years. I did warn them

Just try to eat Mao Shan Wang/D24/red prawns & others you can straight away feel the burning sensation at your throat during your sleep or next morning.This indicate the toxic chemical are working.Another gd example to confirm the above that there are no housefly or ants attacking the durian packaging sale pack although the durians are very sweet. Just check it yourself.

4) pls buy durians without any pre-opening why? the durians fell from trees snakes/insects will try to eat/attack at any opening of the durians—not safe

Made sure your durians are open in front of you & any pre-opening pls do not accept as the sellers are always tricky. They try to pass the bad one to you & after all they are businessman.( I know all their dirty tricks like using hand gloves or cloth to cover the durians & pretend to open it——actually the durians are already opened or pretend sweet talk to distract you)
Pls check all your buy durians before paying (they can switch them very fast) & also check their weighting machines.After all the durians is like the price of gold.

5) pls do not eat any durian cakes/pudding/deserts as the owners buy the cheapest quality.

P/S watch out for more update news.
Good luck & enjoy it

8 Fakta Dan Mitos Mengenai Durian

Musim durian dijangka kembali sekali lagi ke Singapura tidak lama lagi.

Dengan jenis seperti Musang King atau Mao Shan Wang terus menjadi buruan, kami bawa anda melihat sekilas fakta dan mitos berhubung raja buah itu, seperti ditukil dari laman healthxchange.com.sg.

FAKTA TENTANG DURIAN

1) Durian kaya dengan zat

Ini tentunya khabar gembira bagi anda yang gemar makan durian. Durian kaya dengan kalium, serabut diet, zat besi, vitamin C dan vitamin B kompleks.

Buah yang juga dikenali sebagai raja buah itu sangat baik untuk meningkatkan kekuatan otot dan tekanan darah.

Bukan itu sahaja, durian juga baik untuk melancarkan buang air besar dan kesihatan kulit. Ia juga mendukung sistem saraf, meningkatkan kekebalan tubuh dan meningkatkan penghasilan sel darah merah.

2) Durian boleh menyebabkan berat badan anda naik

Ini adalah salah satu fakta pahit yang perlu anda terima, terutama bagi penggemar durian. Secara purata, durian seberat 1 kilogram mengandungi hampir 1,350 kalori. Memakan satu durian sahaja bermakna anda sudah mengambil 68 peratus daripada 2,000 kalori yang disarankan setiap hari bagi seorang dewasa. Bahkan, seulas durian (sekitar 40 gram) mempunyai 54 kalori.

3) Pesakit kencing manis perlu kurangkan pemakanan durian

Boleh dikatakan, buah durian tidak begitu sesuai untuk pesakit kencing manis. Ini kerana durian mempunyai kandungan gula yang tinggi. Ia mengandung gula sederhana seperti sukrosa, fruktosa, dan glukosa.

4) Durian berikan tenaga serta-merta

Oleh kerana kandungan karbohidrat yang tinggi, durian boleh membantu untuk meningkatkan tahap tenaga yang rendah dengan pantas di kalangan individu sihat. Kandungan kalium yang tinggi dalam durian juga membantu mengurangkan kelelahan, sekaligus menghilangkan tekanan dan rasa cemas

MITOS TENTANG DURIAN

1) Durian kaya dengan kolestrol

Ramai yang menyangka durian mengandungi kolesterol. Namun hakikatnya, buah ini memiliki kandungan lemak monotaktepu yang baik untuk jantung. Selain itu, durian boleh membantu mengurangkan kadar kolestrol LDL yang tidak baik untuk anda.

2) Manggis perlu dimakan bersama durian untuk kurangkan panas badan

Menurut tradisi orang Cina, oleh kerana manggis buah pendingin, ia dapat mengurangkan kesan “kehangatan” durian. Namun, tiada kajian saintifik yang membuktikan hal ini.

3) Makan durian dan minum arak pada masa yang sama boleh membawa kematian

Sekali lagi, tiada bukti saintifik yang menunjukkan kombinasi ini dapat membawa maut. Makan durian dan minum arak mungkin hanya menyebabkan perut kembung, gangguan pencernaan dan rasa tidak selesa pada hati.

Ini kerana hati harus bekerja lebih keras untuk memetabolismekan kedua-dua lemak dan gula dalam durian dan arak, terutama jika ia diambil secara berlebihan.

4) Makan durian boleh meningkatkan libido atau nafsu berahi

Fakta ini mungkin sedikit mengecewakan. Buah durian boleh menyebabkan suhu badan meningkat, namun ini tidaklah menjadikan buah itu satu afrodisiak.

Kesimpulannya, menurut laman healthxchange, para pakar pemakanan memberi pesanan bahawa durian itu buah yang kaya dengan zat.

Jika dimakan secara sederhana, ia boleh membekalkan tubuh dengan mineral, vitamin dan lemak yang baik untuk kesihatan.

Menurut healthxchange, sudah cukup untuk makan dua hingga tiga ulas durian sekaligus. Sayangnya, ramai yang sukar mengawal diri sehingga makan durian melebihi yang sepatutnya.

The Cost Of Disposing Durian Husk During Durian Season

Durian season is in full swing and this year’s bumper crop means booming business for durian sellers. However, stall owners face hidden costs, as they have to fork out more cash to dispose of the durian husks.

Every day, workers at a stall in Geylang fill up four huge bins with durian husks. Each bin can accommodate about 120 kilogrammes of durian husks. Having extra bins during peak season means the stall pays about S$1,300 each month to have them disposed of – three times what it usually pays for waste collection.

There’s no way to avoid such costs, especially when most customers prefer to have their purchased durians opened and packed before they take the fruit home.

“We cannot force them to take the whole durian,” said the owner of Fruit Stop 1, Mr Teoh See Yong. “If they drive here, we suggest to them to take the whole durian home, rather than having the meat put in Styrofoam boxes.”

Typically, durian stalls are charged more for waste collection, based on the number and size of the bins needed.

It is a similar situation for one durian stall owner in Katong. He has been paying between S$600 and S$1,000 each month to get rid of the durian husks. During non-peak season, he would typically pay slightly more than S$100.

“If everybody takes durians with the husks, it will lower our costs,” said Mr Wong Yew Loon, the owner of stall 227 Katong Durian. “It will save our time, save our labour and save the price that it costs to get people to throw away the husks. It’s good to have everybody bring back the whole durian.”

SembWaste says it sees around 30 per cent more durian waste during the peak season of May to July, both from households and commercial stalls.

Member of Parliament Edwin Tong, who oversees part of Geylang, says there has been a noticeable increase in durian waste recently, particularly in the common bins near durian stalls.

However, he pointed out that, as the increase has not been overwhelming, the town council has been able to absorb it.
