Not even allowed in a hotel room due to the smell!
Answer:
Pick them up at the market if they are in season. I just saw some on display at May Wah Supermarket on Clement St. They are $1.19 per pound and are they ever heavy. Possibly 5 to 10 lbs each? I didn't have time to weigh one but got poked when picking it up. You would almost need to wear heavy leather gloves to get near them. They are in a net bag so you can pick them up without hurting yourself.
Asian markets on Clement St. in San Francisco between 4th Ave. and 9th Ave. (aka New Chinatown in the Richmond District)
May Wah Market on Irving St. near 25th Ave. in the Sunset District of San Francisco
(I won't suggest SF Chinatown because I've never personally ever seen them out on the produce bins --not that I ever specifically look for them.)
99 Ranch markets in Foster City (east of San Mateo off Hillsdale Blvd. near Hwy 101) or off Skyline Blvd. in Daly City.
Many Asians live down in Sunnyvale, San Jose, Fremont, Oakland (Oakland Chinatown) and I know they must have them in their Asian markets too.
try looking for it in an asian food store when it is in season you will find it there
I'm almost positive that Ranch 99 has them. If you are planning on keeping them have them frozen so they don't stink.
wrap it with newspapers first and re-wrap it with plastic bag to confine the odor. Put it in a box sealed tight. There your durian goes!
Yeah, I saw that episode of "Food Hunter" too. Actually there are a few select places where you can actually buy Durian Fruit in the US. There's a place in Ohio which carries it.
Sent from where? US customs will not allow fresh fruit to be imported by individuals to the country from Asia or elsewhere in the world.
There has to be somewhere in the U.S. that grows it. We grow just about everything else. But why would you want to eat something that smells so bed that it has been banned from opening and eating in so many places where it is grown?
Well, its sold in california.
Try an asian food market. I bought them before, in california.
i think they are pretty good. the smell isn't that bad.
Hi there! Go to http://www.durianpalace.com or http://www.durianfruit.com Best of luck with both of these sites. :o)
I go bananas each time durians are in season in the tropics - Malaysian varieties are tops because they are NOT commercially harvested like they do in Thailand - durians in Malaysian estates are picked up from the ground after the fruits drop naturally from high ups. Never stand under a durian tree unless you want a spike head.
I think Malaysian varieties are not available anywhere outside the country - there's never enough for local consumption every season.
i think i can send you....but not the real fruit, maybe the dried durians or the candies or lollies made from durian fruits...we have lots here in the philippines. but honestly, i dont like durians too much cuz of the smell.
ya i get what you mean,you cant bring it in cabs too
i suggest you try to get it an asian store
