D200/黑刺/Ochee/Black Thorn
Raub is one of the places in Pahang that produces a large amount of Elvis King and has a better quality.
Most of the durians in Raub now come from the production of Sungai Lan New Village, Sungai Kit Liu New Village and Dulai New Village in Raub.
The blackthorn durian Mother tree was originally grown on a small island in the Kelantan River. The mother tree was transplanted in the 1970s and was planted in large numbers in Raub and Bentong in Pahang. With the changes of the times, many people put Lao Bukit and Bentong are listed as the origins of blackthorn durian. In addition to being the hometown of gold, Raub is also known as the hometown of Cat King. Therefore, every durian season contributes a lot to the development of local tourism.
What is blackthorn durian A & A Grade?
blackthorn durian is also divided into A fruit, B fruit and C fruit, and the first step to identify blackthorn durian is to look at the appearance.
Fruit A is plump and oval in shape. The key point is that the pulp is very plump. Usually, when fruit A is opened, there may be two rows of pulp inside, and up to 30 to 40 packs of pulp can be found. This is also the reason why the price of fruit A is relatively high. A Grade will be divided to AA and AB Grade further.
As for the B fruit, its shape is rather strange and unattractive, with an average weight of less than 1 kg. The B fruit will have less pulp inside, so the price will be slightly different from that of the A fruit. B fruit generally only has 2 to 4 packets of pulp.
The C fruit is smaller, with only a few packs of pulp, so the price will be lower than that of the B fruit.
There is often a dry and shriveled thorn at the end of the blackthorn durian, which looks like a long, skinny thorn.
The flesh is orange-red and as smooth as cotton candy.
Why are durians so expensive in Malaysia?
Malaysian durians do not use the "ripening technology" of Thai durians, because Malaysia focuses on the original ripening of natural trees, which makes the taste stronger and more fragrant, and the taste is more layered and creamy. Since durians are ripe, they should be eaten within 3 or 4 days after the fruit is dropped (it can be stored for a longer time at low temperature), otherwise it will be overripe and go bad. In fact, it should be said that the "ripening technology" cannot be applied to Malaysian durians for the time being, because once when the supply was in short supply, they were harvested after seven ripening and ripening. The taste and creamy originally expected by the market were not acceptable to the market.
Malaysian durians have to be delivered to foreign customers freshly within 3 or 4 days. They are transported by manual logistics and planes, and the transportation cost causes the price to be much higher. It is precisely because Malaysian durians can only ripen on natural trees, the weather is affected for a longer period of time, and there are more uncertainties, and the risk of farmers losing their income is relatively high. In addition, it needs to be delivered to foreign customers within 3 or 4 days, and the manual logistics and aircraft transportation will lead to a much higher price.
