Its rich aroma and soft flesh can effectively replenish qi and blood, warm yang, strengthen the spleen, and benefit the stomach, making it suitable for those with qi and blood deficiency, coldness in the heart and abdomen, or sensitivity to cold. Do you think only the durian flesh is edible?! You are completely mistaken! In fact, the durian shell and seed are also edible!
Durian seed, which is the seed inside the durian flesh. Compared to the flesh, the durian seed has milder effects and can strengthen the spleen and kidneys, promote blood circulation, and dispel cold. For those who are weak or have poor appetite, or women with cold-type abdominal pain or menstrual pain, long-term consumption can have remarkable effects. Durian seeds can be peeled and eaten raw, dried and cooked, or steamed directly. Its texture is soft and tender, somewhat like taro or chestnuts, and it is often used as an ingredient in sweet soups or broths!
The shell and the flesh often have counteracting effects, and durian is no exception. Durian shell, the white part inside the shell, is excellent for clearing heat and reducing internal fire, counteracting the warmth of durian. So even if you eat a lot of durian flesh, you don't have to worry! The usual way to consume it is by boiling. Especially after eating durian flesh, add salt and the white shell and boil together. After cooling slightly, drinking it can relieve the heat sensation caused by overeating durian. It also has the effect of nourishing yin and beautifying the skin.

Durian is warm in nature, with a spicy and sweet taste; it enters the liver, lung, and kidney meridians, and belongs to the category of nourishing fruits. Therefore, it is suitable for those with deficiency of essence and blood, premature graying of hair, or deficiency-type skin itching, a constitution sensitive to cold, cold hands and feet, pale complexion, and lack of strength.
Durian has strong nourishing effects, but excessive consumption can become greasy and heavy. Eating too much greasy food can cause bodily burdens or uncomfortable symptoms. To prevent eating durian from turning a "comedy" into a "tragedy," the following groups of people should be cautious when eating durian: Those with a hot constitution or yin deficiency with excessive fire should not eat too much durian to avoid exacerbating symptoms of internal heat such as sore throat, headache, mouth ulcers, and facial acne. Traditional Chinese medicine says "overweight people have more phlegm and dampness." People who are obese or have heavy phlegm and dampness should also avoid eating too much durian because phlegm and dampness arise from spleen and stomach weakness: spleen and stomach weakness leads to phlegm and dampness, which obstruct the spleen and stomach's qi movement and transformation. Eating too much durian will worsen phlegm and dampness, causing stagnation of spleen and stomach qi, resulting in bloating, loss of appetite, or constipation. Excessive dryness and heat cause dampness toxins, so those with skin diseases or hemorrhoids should not eat too much. Durian is a nourishing food, but excessive nourishment generates heat, and excessive heat produces fire toxins, causing bodily burdens. Therefore, obese individuals, those with high blood sugar, high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney disease should eat durian cautiously and not in excess.
