Durian, flesh only

Durian is a fruit, and the values here refer to its edible flesh only. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 28g per 100g, including 23g of sugars. The flesh also supplies vitamin C and potassium, containing 41mg and 600mg per 100g respectively.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. The naturally occurring sugars in durian form part of its total carbohydrate content, which is worth noting for people monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake.
