Guest guest Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hi everyone, I'm looking into importing Durian to Israel... seems like we can't do without it anymore Does anyone know of a good supplier? I'm not sure where you get them from in the US (Thailand), because we import a lot of Thai produce to Israel, so I'm sure it won't be a problem... I would really appreciate a name and or phone number. also, in the long run I think it would be best to grow it here... does anyone know anything about the requirements - most tropical foods grow quite well here - where can I get seeds? any information would be much appreciated. Thanks! Leah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hi Leah, I know someone who grows exotic fruits in Hawaii. He has one durian tree that produced only 12 fruit last year as it's still young. He said that Israel is at the forefront of ag research when it comes to fruit. Durian requires alot of water and deep soil, which could be a problem. Thailand exports both fresh and frozen. - Janet rawfood , " Leah Calo " <Leah_calo> wrote: > I'm looking into importing Durian to Israel... seems like we can't do > without it anymore > > Does anyone know of a good supplier?

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 here's another rumor about durian... the durian's that have gotten too ripe to handle (shipping) are shelled out and packaged in foil or similar containers and then frozen these are potentially the tastiest durian available becuz they have tree ripened i personally resist buying packaged food but i just may hafta test it out some day with whole frozen durian i usually find the fruits that have cracks in them near the flower end are the tastiest i've assumed the cracks are a sign of maturity norm )~ ...... raw food, simply wonderful .....
