Peebles Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Would durian be considered a compliant fat (?) source? I get them frozen from my favorite Asia shop (ingredients: frozen durian and nothing else) and usually use them like avocado, e.g. for some creamy goodness in salads.

Vian Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 They don't have as much fat as avocado, so maybe have it in addition to another source, unless you're using a lot of it. But yes, I would imagine they're in the same category as avocado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2014 You can consume durian, but it is not much of a fat source. According to Wikipedia its macro breakdown for 100 grams of fruit is Carbohydrates 27.09 g Dietary fiber 3.8 g Fat 5.33 g Protein 1.47 g The same amount of avocado has this macro composition Carbohydrates 8.53 g Sugars 0.66 g Dietary fiber 6.7 g Fat 14.66 g Saturated 2.13 g Monounsaturated 9.80 g Polyunsaturated 1.82 g Protein 2 g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebles Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks to the both of you! Wow, I would have guessed it must contain more fat, from the taste and "feeling of satisfaction". The amount I would eat in a sitting is usually a good chunk so it might "even out" compared to avocado. Durian is more an occasional yummy luxury rather than a daily staple anyway. But it's a good thing to be aware of, to make sure I'll add some extra fatty goodness to it when I do have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
