From doing research yourself It was found that the components of durian were not high in sugar. Depending on the variety, it ranges from 7-25 grams, but ripe durian has a lot of sugar.

T
his is “true”: Patients with high blood pressure should not eat large quantities of durian. But if you eat a small amount, it’s okay.

What type of durian should I choose to eat ?

There are many varieties of durian. But the nutritional value is no different. If you look at the main color, which is very yellow, there will be beta-carotene. High in betacarotene and zeaxanthin, lutein.

As for some types of durian, when eaten you feel that the texture is very smooth. Please be a little suspicious. It is quite high in fat.

What kind of durian, how much sugar, is not as important as the “quantity” eaten.

Don’t think that the glycemic index (Glycemic Index: GI) is low and you can eat a lot. But it depends on the amount you ea
