Durian and Young COocnut

[Guest guest]

Just passing on information that you might want to use.

If anyone in the Group has tried these Durian or Coconuts please e-mail me. I would like to know about the quality?

Also the Asian Market here in Richmond now sells Durian wrapped in

A clear plastic case. There are about 3 pieces of Durian in each container for $3.99. No I have not tried them I buy the whole durian and eat every bite.

Abundant Health,

Lynda

1. START THE NEW YEAR WITH WORLD'S MOST YAMMY FOOD!Despite the low season in Thailand and the latest unfortunate events that hit South East Asia, we will have fresh, non-treated Durian for January.Our Durian is the only NON-FROZEN, NON-TREATED Durian currently available in the US. The Durian flesh is taken out of the shell in Thailand prior to shipping. This procedure besides lowering shipping costs, allows a higher quality control. Only the perfectly ripe Durian is shipped to the US. This prefect stage of maturity makes our durian far more fragrant and intense in flavor than the durian you might find in the usual Asian markets.IMPORTANT: WE NEED YOUR PRE-ORDERS! Pre-orders are essential to us because they help us determine the import quantities upfront and secondly, they provide us with the necessary funds to pay our partners in Thailand who request payment a week prior to shipping. Pre-ordering also means reserving. It is the only way for us to guarantee that you receive the exact quantities of Durian and Coconuts you want. Durian and coconuts without pre-ordering are only available in very limited quantities!Please order preferably before MONDAY JAN. 18TH midnight at http://www.thepurefoodnetwork.org . Because of the low durian season in Thailand varieties are subject to change upon availability. Keep shipping cost and packaging materials to a minimum! Talk to your friends and place a group order.Absolute deadline for non-pre-orders is MONDAY JAN. 24TH MIDNIGHT so we can ship your order Tuesday Jan. 25th. Go online at http://www.thepurefoodnetwork.org or call (866) EAT PURE for details.---2. DON'T FORGET OUR UNBLEACHED YOUNG THAI COCONUTS!!!Many of you have asked us to import young Thai coconuts that have not undergone the usual bleaching and fungicide treatments. The young coconuts currently made available by Asian markets are imported by boat. The transit time is somewhere between three to four weeks. To withstand the molding and fermenting that would unavoidably happen during that time, coconuts have to be treated in Thailand prior to shipping. Our young coconuts are flown in which gives us a transit time of about 30 hours, so no treatment is required. Transportation by airplane is unfortunately much more expensive than by boat, which means that it will not be possible for us to meet the prices of the usual Asian providers. At this point the best price we can offer is $5 a coconut. The quality is extraordinary and we guarantee you will taste the difference. ---3. LOW SHIPPING COSTSa. DURIAN During our last import we shipped several packages 2nd Day Air instead of overnight. All packages were delivered in good state and the durian arrived nice and cool.
