Durian

Our customers use durian because of its rich texture, high nutritional value, and strong cultural and regional demand, particularly in Southeast Asian markets. Durian has a naturally creamy, custard-like consistency, which makes it useful in products like desserts, ice creams, pastries, and fillings without the need for additional fats or thickeners. Its distinctive, intense flavor—while polarizing—allows manufacturers to create unique and premium products that stand out in niche and specialty markets. Durian is also a good source of energy, fiber, and essential nutrients, supporting its use in indulgent yet nutrient-rich foods. It is often processed into frozen pulp, paste, or puree, which helps manage its short fresh shelf life and makes it more practical for large-scale production and export.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.

King of Fruits

Durian is a large tropical fruit known for its spiky outer shell and strong, distinctive odor. It is native to Southeast Asia, where it is often referred to as the “king of fruits.” Inside, the fruit contains soft, creamy flesh divided into segments, usually surrounding large seeds. The texture is rich and custard-like, and the flavor is complex, often described as a mix of sweet and savory. Durian grows on tall trees in warm, humid climates and is typically harvested when ripe fruits fall naturally from the tree. Due to its strong smell, it is sometimes restricted in public spaces in certain countries. Brothers International is a durian puree supplier, and can also provide other popular formats including IQF.
