Brilio.net - Durian is a popular fruit in Southeast Asia. The soft and sweet texture of the flesh attracts many people. It is not surprising that durian fruit is often hunted for direct consumption or processed into various kinds of food.
Basically, consuming durian fruit as a snack is normal. But what if what is consumed is another part, such as durian skin. Well, a man on TikTok was caught casually snacking on durian fruit skin. This moment was uploaded on a TikTok account called @gamiyatravel.
In the 20 second video, this man shows ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) content while eating spiny durian skin. He holds durian skin in his right hand and a bowl of chili sauce in his left hand. Well, the durian that you want to eat turns out to be dipped in the red chili sauce first.

Reported by BrilioFood on Wednesday (3/7), the thorny durian skin appears to be torn easily when chewed. This can be seen from the man's expression, which looks very relaxed and fun. In fact, there were no signs of pain or discomfort when swallowing the durian skin.
