What is this food?
Fudge, durian (a sweet durian-based fudge). It’s usually made by cooking durian pulp with sugar until thick, then setting it into a dense, sweet treat.
Why it matters to health
Fudge, durian is energy-dense and high in carbohydrates and sugar (about 62 g sugar per 100 g). It also has small amounts of fat, including saturated fat (about 0.12 g per 100 g) and a little cholesterol. For everyday eating, this matters because too much added sugar can crowd out more filling, nutrient-rich foods in your day. The good part: durian provides some natural nutrients, but the health impact mostly depends on how much you eat. Since it’s sweet, it’s best as an occasional snack or small dessert portion, not a regular main snack.
Healthier tips
- Keep portions small: try 1–2 small pieces (or about 1–2 tablespoons) after a full meal, not as a “main snack.”
- Pair it with something that adds fiber/protein to balance your snack—e.g., a small serving of plain yogurt or a piece of fruit plus nuts.
- If you’re having fudge, durian, choose lighter snacks the rest of the day (less sweet drinks, less pastries).
- Check labels when available: look for lower added sugar and smaller serving sizes.
- Enjoy it more often in smaller amounts—everything in moderation helps you still enjoy sweets without overdoing sugar.
