Milk Durian from Long Khanh at Navi Fruit

1. Product Characteristics

Milk Durian from Long Khanh is also known locally as Chin Hoa Durian. This variety was successfully developed by Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa from Ben Tre and has since been propagated and widely cultivated in the Long Khanh – Dong Nai region.

Each fruit weighs approximately 1–5 kg. The durian has a round, ball-like shape, with some fruits containing 5–6 segments of flesh. The shell is dark moss-green, with widely spaced thorns, and a broad, slightly concave base.

When ripe, the flesh turns light yellow, offering a rich, creamy texture and strong sweetness, noticeably richer than Ri6 and Thai Monthong. The small-seed ratio reaches around 40%, resulting in a higher flesh yield. The shell naturally splits at the tail when ripe, making the fruit easy to open.
