Durian is a funny fruit that causes all kinds of weirdo overreactions. But it’s worth a try.
You can always buy frozen whole durian at most Asian markets in the U.S., it’s not as good as the fresh SE Asian variety in the same way that frozen peas aren’t as good as fresh peas. But it’s OK.
Sometimes you can get fresh in-season durian in the States. In both cases it’s pricey, just as it is in SE Asia.

Durian is extremely high in K and can cause hyperkalemia given the right circumstances.
