That said, I recall reading somewhere that scientists were working on genetically engineering less stinky durian. That seems ridiculous, since I doubt people will want to eat it even if it's "less" stinky. Scientists already ruined jalapenos trying to make them milder...I hope they don't ruin durian, too!
I believe durian from supermarket here come from Indonesia. Durians from there are less "pungent" compared to the ones from Malaysia. They are also frozen which alters the smell a little.
