Good source of vitamin C

One cup of fresh durian (almost half a whole fruit) contains an impressive 47.9 milligrams of vitamin C, which is approximately 80 percent of our recommended daily intake (RDI). Aside from being an important antioxidant that guards us from degenerative diseases like cancer and Alzheimerpowers disease, vitamin C is also the key to the production of collagen, a protein that aids the growth of cells and blood vessels and which gives skin its strength and firmness. For this reason, vitamin Crich fruits like durian also possess considerable antiaging benefits.
