The fruit known as "the king of fruits" in some cultures is the durian. This tropical fruit is native to Southeast Asia and is famous for its strong odor, unique flavor, and spiky outer shell. While some people adore its taste and creamy texture, others are put off by its pungent smell, which has led to its ban in certain hotels and public transport. The durian is rich in nutrients and believed to have various health benefits, contributing to its royal moniker in countries like Thailand and Malaysia, where it is often celebrated during harvest festivals.
