Durian
What it is
Durian is a tropical fruit with edible flesh surrounding its seeds. The USDA reference covers raw or frozen durian flesh.
What it does
For the named reference food, USDA lists 147 kcal, 27.1 g carbohydrate and 3.8 g fiber per 100 g edible portion. The table gives additional nutrients for that same food form. These figures describe composition, not an effect on a disease or a recommended serving.
Research context and ingredient forms
Reference food: Durian, raw or frozen. These are historical SR Legacy data from the April 2018 release, published in FoodData Central in 2019. A different variety, preparation, water content, or commercial recipe can change the result. For a matching food, a portion estimate scales each value by edible portion grams divided by 100.
Using this information
Use the edible flesh weight rather than the weight of the rind and seeds. Durian candy, ice cream, and pastries require their own recipes or product labels.
