1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: So the call went out, can we look at a

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: Durian cut, a Durian smell a Durian Durian? Apparently we can.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: The call has been by Zona. Zona's joined us to

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: the Thorny Fruit Company, City's Durian specialist, an exotic fruit

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: online retailer Zona.

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Hello, thank you for being so prompt, Zona. Not I

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: was when a man proposed we do this, Well, no

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: one's going to be able to deliver this at this time.

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: Look at this? Can I describe what we're seeing? And

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: I realized now I've seen these in markets in Asia.

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: It's a very spiky lor it's heavy. What size is

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 2: that about the size of a pineapple, isn't it? And

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: from you can't smell anything from the outside of it

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: really so.

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: Well, it's because it's been frozen. So Australian biosecurity action

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 3: requires any imported Durian to be frozen before entering the country.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: So you can get it as the fruit flesh on

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 3: the inside fresh, but you can't get a whole dury

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: in fresh.

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: Because what's what causes the smell.

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: It's the husk and the fruit on the inside. So

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: you'll definitely be stronger when you open it up. But

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 3: when you're in Asia and it's fresh dropped, it will smell.

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: So you can smell it from probably a kilometer. So hey,

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: especially when it's in season and there's bots and stands

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: full of them.

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you and you guys would get used

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: to it. You're in Malaysia, you get used to it.

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: But then when a visit come say, oh my god,

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: what's that?

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: Who sucks?

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 4: Are that?

34
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: Well? Look?

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Should we?

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: I've seen it's here, but it smells like it smells

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: like mango.

38
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: To me, it.

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: Smells like a little Well, this isn't going to be

40
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: as strong as it will get because, as Zona says,

41
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: it's been frozen. It's a little bit like an off mango.

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: The manga that you've left in the fruit bowl a

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: bit long.

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, the fact that you've brought gloves in.

45
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: Should we put these gloves on? Does it stick to

46
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: your hands? The smell it.

47
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: Does, So there are tricks actually around it. Some Malaysians

48
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: believe that if you wash your hands with the seed,

49
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: so use it like a soap, the smell will actually

50
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: come off quicker.

51
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: All right, Zona, Well let's cut it open and we'll

52
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: get a good whiff. Some people have described the smell

53
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: as gas. Yep, what else have people thought? I mean diarrhea, turpentine,

54
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: rotten onions? And some say it's not so bad.

55
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: It's funny that smell was in here before you brought

56
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: it in.

57
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: Yep, you know I'm coming.

58
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it comes zona with a Durian. She didn't bring

59
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: it to that. How much is that worth?

60
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: This is a one point seven kilo size during, so

61
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: it's probably just Doneder seventy.

62
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: Dollars seventy dollars.

63
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: Well, some have sold I was reading for like the

64
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: most expensive Durian ever sold was auctioned for forty eight thousand.

65
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 4: Whoa, there you go? Can we grow them here?

66
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: Yes, they're actually at the moment it's the Darwin Durian season,

67
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 3: so they've been growing since the nineties. Far North Queensland

68
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: also grows them. So my curiosity for grew during grew

69
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen when everyone in the Malaysian community started talking

70
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: about Australian durance. And I've been living in Sydney for

71
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: fourteen years and I haven't had the interest to go

72
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: back to eating durant. I mean being Malaysian. I love it,

73
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: but I wasn't craving for it until everyone started talking

74
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: about the Australian durant and I thought, what's going on here?

75
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: So I wanted to try. I sorted out I lived

76
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: next to Flemington Sydney Markets, and we went to find

77
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: We found it, and friends wanted to share them wholesale.

78
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: So a box was twenty kilos, so maybe about ten

79
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: durans in each box, and I thought, I'll ask friends

80
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: if they want to share, because I gonna eat it myself.

81
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: I ended up buying four hundred kilo grounds from about

82
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: twenty people in the in our little community.

83
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: And is that where your business began?

84
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: And that's how the business began. So they found me,

85
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: not the other way around, and it just grew from there.

86
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: Stronger with stronger.

87
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: They call it the King of Fruits. That was my

88
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 4: theater name.

89
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: The King of fe Spiky and maybe not worth the journey.

90
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: I'm not actually using my gloves done this quite.

91
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you're just ripping the peel apart.

92
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 4: So what's what looks like?

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: Brain?

94
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: What we're getting animal?

95
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: Let me have it? Does it looks like something from

96
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: the ocean? It's not so bad.

97
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 4: It smells like onion.

98
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: Do you think? Yeah?

99
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: Is that? Is that?

100
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: Yes?

101
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: And so what do you don't eat this bed?

102
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: You just eat? That's like a sea slug. This thing

103
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 2: smells don't smell a bit mourning.

104
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: That smells pretty bad anymore.

105
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: The more it's open, the more. What about the dury?

106
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: So, but what do you do with it? You eat it?

107
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: You first, Brendan. Apparently it's going to taste delicious?

108
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 4: Is it?

109
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 2: It does? Doesn't It doesn't look like food.

110
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't look advertising. Why am I going first?

111
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: Go?

112
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

113
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: What's it tastes like?

114
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: It tastes like nothing I've ever tasted, But it doesn't

115
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: taste bad.

116
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 2: Can you be more specific?

117
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: That's what I mean.

118
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: You're a food.

119
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: I've never tasted anything.

120
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: To described a texture.

121
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: It's got a consistency of a mango, and like it's custody.

122
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: Is it's custody a mango.

123
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: When you first bitey and you think it's mango. But

124
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: it's not as tasty as a mango. It's a more

125
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: subtle flavor. It does have. It is like custard.

126
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: It's got a meaty taste. It's meaty, but not bad.

127
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: It's not bad.

128
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't smell like. It doesn't taste like it.

129
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't taste it smells. I know a lot

130
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 4: of things like that.

131
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: It's quite it's not very light. It's quite dense, isn't.

132
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 4: It it is? Hmm, that's mmmm.

133
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: It's fascinating.

134
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 4: I can feel it. My breath starting is dreadful.

135
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: There is an oniony after that.

136
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 4: I'm at a ginger virus convention. I can feel it.

137
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: Just what I want from my fruit.

138
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 4: I can feel it.

139
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 3: I imagine I'm doing before you see a dentist.

140
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: I imagine that the smell would be awful and the

141
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: taste of be heavenly. It's kind of a little bit

142
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: the other way.

143
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been from Colin from column B. But we

144
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: really appreciate it and it's something that we don't have

145
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: to do again.

146
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. What an education.

147
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: I'm going to give you a big plug.

148
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: Because the Thorny Fruit Company Sydney's Durian specialist, I would

149
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,120

00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: them mostly from Australian farmers. Actually, yeah, yeah, so.
