😷 What's the smelliest fruit on Earth? The King of Fruits: Durian!

😶�️ Durian (Durio zibethinus) is a tropical fruit tree known for its prickly, spiny fruit, which is famous for its distinctive, highly pervasive aroma - often described as unpleasant by many.

😶�️ Despite the powerful scent, which can deter some from trying it, durian is celebrated in Southeast Asia as the "king of fruits." To many, the strong odor is actually a welcome signal of the fruit's rich, creamy golden flesh, which has a sweet, custard-like flavor that's likened to almond and vanilla.

😶�️ Its creamy texture and unique taste make it a beloved delicacy, often commanding a high price in the market.

😶�️ As naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace noted after trying durian on Borneo in the 19th century, "The more you eat of it, the less you feel inclined to stop".

😶�️ Other varieties, like the red and yellow-fleshed Durio graveolans, are available in Southeast Asia and even in regions like South Florida, offering a peanut butter-like taste and greater tolerance to local conditions.

😈 Crushed leaves smell just like crushed garlic!

😈 Garlic vine has moderate growth rate and can stay compact in a pot as a specimen, and even can be grown as a house plant.
