Brilio.net - Durian , known as the "king of fruit" is very popular in Southeast Asia. Its distinctive strong aroma is a special attraction for durian fans. Apart from that, the fruit's soft texture and unique sweet taste also make fans addicted to consuming durian.
Seen from the outside, the spiny skin of the fruit can also attract attention. This is the characteristic, so the fruit is called 'durian'. But what would happen if durian had smooth skin without thorns?
Recently, a viral video on TikTok showed the appearance of a unique, bald durian without thorns. This video, uploaded by the TikTok account @karn_zz, shows the shape of a durian which is actually similar to breadfruit because it has smooth skin.
In the 37 second video, a man can be seen trying to cut open the bald durian. Unlike cutting ordinary durian which requires special strength and technique, he only cuts the middle of the fruit using a knife. Apart from that, the man also did not wear gloves because there were no dangerous thorns.

Reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @karn_zz on Thursday (25/7), one side of the durian was cut open. After that, the man cut off both the side ends and the top of the durian skin. Shortly after, he cut open the outer skin of the durian to remove the contents.

When the skin is opened, the contents or flesh of the durian fruit can be seen. Who would have thought, the contents of this bald durian fruit look so appetizing. The golden yellow flesh looks so tender and thick. Just like high quality durian. This immediately makes anyone smile with satisfaction after seeing the contents, even though the durian skin tends to be strange.

After investigating, this durian was found in Thailand. However, in Indonesia, specifically in Lombok, NTB, there is also this type of durian. This type of durian plant has usually undergone a natural mutation so that the thorns all over the skin disappear. However, there are also those who prune the thorns when the fruit is still small and the thorns tend to be soft, so they are easy to cut.
"Yes, in Lombok there is a type of bald durian," said the TikTok account @amord7763.
