1 About Five Gorges Durian
1.1 Origin of the name Ngu Hiep Durian
Durian is a very popular fruit in the South with an extremely characteristic taste, which cannot be confused with any other fruit. Most of the western provinces grow durian, in addition, the Central Highlands region also has soil that is very suitable for this plant. However, durian in Ngu Hiep has its own charm, this place is known as the "kingdom of durians" because up to 90% of the garden area is planted by people. Gradually, the Ngu Hiep Durian brand, which is loved by many people, has become a famous specialty of Tien Giang.
Ngu Hiep durian is a specialty that makes many people "hurt their wallets" because even if the price is high, it is impossible to hold back
Ngu Hiep durian is characterized by thin skin, crushed seeds, golden rice, thick flesh, natural sweetness and very large fruits. Currently, the people of Ngu Hiep have applied the quality standards of VietGAP (certification of agricultural products according to Vietnamese standards) and GlobalGAP (certification of agricultural products according to global standards) for cultivation, so the durian here is of even higher quality.
1.2 Seasons of Five Gorges Durian
Durian is grown by the people of Ngu Hiep to bear fruit all year round, but the concentrated season is from May to August of the solar calendar. At this time, the durian is ripe, the houses harvest it, and the traders buy it and take it to other localities to sell. Therefore, if you buy durian in the main season, the price will be quite affordable, and in the off-season, the price can be 2 to 3 times higher. But compared to other fruits, such as Vinh Kim Forge Milk Breast, durian is still a very expensive fruit every season.

2.1 Durian Ri 6
Ri 6 is the most popular type of Ngu Hiep Durian in the market thanks to its aroma and quite eye-catching fruit shape. The Ri 6 durian is quite oblong, the tail is long and the top, the thorns are blunt and thinner than other durians, the peel is greenish-yellow, the more ripe it is, the more yellow. The average weight of each Ri 6 fruit usually ranges from 3 to 5kg.

2.2 Monthong durian
The Ngu Hiep Monthong durian is longer than the Ri 6 duberry, cylindrical in shape, pointed thorns, the skin is copper-yellow or gray-yellow, when ripe, the peel color is quite dark, so it is not beautiful. Monthong's rice is also very beautiful, with large slices, golden rice, dry meat, and nuts. In terms of sweetness, Monthong durian is sweeter than Ri 6, so you can eat it more quickly. Each fruit also weighs between 3 and 5kg.

2.3 Durian with cowshed seeds
Cow barn durian is not as popular as the two types of MIA.vn mentioned above because the cultivation characteristics of this variety are difficult to care for and the flesh is not as tasty. This type of durian is oval, the left tail is full rather than pointed, the spines are sharp, and the bark is blue-gray or yellow-gray.
The slices of durian seeds in the cowshed are also very large, but the meat is quite mushy
The flesh of the cowshed durian is light yellow, when cooked, the meat will be soft and slightly wet, and the taste is quite sweet. Each fruit weighs from 2.5 to 4kg, smaller than Ri 6 durian and Monthong durian.
3 Notes when buying Five Gorges Durian
Durian is a fruit with a fairly high price, which can be said to be the highest among Vietnamese fruits. Therefore, when buying, if you don't know how to choose, you may mistakenly buy durian that is ripe, pumped or priced. Although you come directly to Tien Giang, if you choose to buy durian in the city area, you can still encounter this situation. Therefore, the travel guide MIA.vn encourage you to choose to buy at large, reputable fruit granaries. Thus, you can not only buy delicious durians, but also conveniently choose other specialty fruits of Tien Giang such as rambutan or Nhi Quy long. In addition, you should also equip yourself with knowledge to fundamentally distinguish the types of Ngu Hiep Durian to avoid being sold at the wrong price by traders, for example, selling durian in a cowshed at the price of Ri 6 durian will be very bad for buyers.
Ngu Hiep durian is packaged very carefully to ensure quality to customers
Secondly, if you want to buy delicious durian or buy a large quantity to give to relatives and friends, according to MIA.vn's experience, you should go to the durian gardens in Ngu Gheep. Buying durian in the garden, you can find ripe durians, a super delicious taste that is difficult to see when buying at the granary. The selling price at the garden will also be much more preferential, you can save from 30,000 - 50,000 VND/kg compared to when you buy through a trader. If the price of durian is a little high compared to your finances, MIA.vn will introduce you to Trung Luong Plum, which is also a specialty fruit of Tien Giang but the price is extremely affordable.
