Durian Myth

Durian Myth

Mao Shan Wang will only have small seed, big seed is not Mao Shan Wang!

It is normal for a durian tree to bear both big- seed fruits and small-seed fruits. The size of the seed is affected by how much fertiliser a fruit absorbs. Most importantly, the size of the seed does not affect the taste and texture of the durian flesh. There are also no worries when you are buying from Royal Durian! As for boxes with bigger seed, we would add more durian inside and label it with a “Big Seed Alert” sticker to ensure satisfaction!

Only durian from older trees will have grey husks and will be better than green husks from younger trees!

All trees can bear durian fruits with green and grey husks regardless of their age. The colour of the husk is based on the weather and the amount of sunlight it is exposed to. Due to the ever-changing weather patterns, both younger and older trees will drop unripe durians, or durians that are too dry or too moist. Quality is paramount to us and we will not pack these sub-par durians into our boxes for delivery. This is our assurance to quality!

I heard Wang Zhong Wang and Black Gold taste better than Mao Shan Wang!

Would you like to be let in on a secret? Both names are just fancy marketing names for our King of Durian! These “variations” are in-name only. They are all Mao Shan Wang which is registered on the species list as D197. Don’t let fancy marketing- speak fool you! We are all about transparency at Royal Durian and believe in calling a spade a spade- or in this case- MSW as MSW. As they are different names but the same fruit, they will taste the same!

I only want A-grade durian not B-grade as it should taste better!

The grading is not a scoring based on the taste of the fruit but solely based on its weight and the “roundness” of the fruit which affect its yield. A- grade durian tends to be above 1.4kg and have a higher yield as compared to B- grade durian. However, the difference in yield has already been priced in, hence there is no difference between A grade and B grade durian!
