Durian is a tropical fruit in Vietnam known as the "king of fruits." It has a large, spiky exterior and creamy, custard-like yellow flesh with a strong aroma that some find off-putting while others love. Durian is typically eaten fresh, used in desserts like **chè** (sweet soup) and ice cream, and is mainly grown in southern provinces such as Tiền Giang and Bến Tre. Rich in vitamins and healthy fats, durian is celebrated for its unique flavor and cultural significance in Vietnamese cuisine.
