Duku Fruit can be found in South East Asia usually in March… but they don’t show up every year so be on the lookout for Duku Fruit. The fruit itself is very sweet but the skin can be very bitter so it is important not to bit into these fruits… you have to use your hands to open them.

Also Duku Fruit peel and seeds also work well for relieving diarrhea. And the seeds made into a paste can be used for treating intestinal parasites, and can also reduce fevers due to colds and flues.

Duku Fruit has a good amount of protein, lots of carbs, hardly any fats, wonderful trace minerals, lots of calcium and phosphorus for strong bones, iron for anemia, and lots of fiber.

And Duku Fruit contains lots of antioxidants in the form of Vitamins A, B, C, and E … that help to get rid of free radicals thus helping to prevent cardiovascular disease, strokes, and cancer.
