I drove up to the Dekalb Market in Atlanta yesterday to buy some Durian fruits.

They are huge, ugly, spiky, Martian-like critters that are the most nutrient rich foods on the planet. I think they give Goji, Noni and mangosteen a run for their money.

The inside of the fruit tastes like custard. Yum! I ate about a half of one as I usually overeat after I shop at Dekalb.

And, last night, after two weeks of insomnia, I slept like a baby (and for ten straight hours)!

According to David Wolf’s “Eating for Beauty”

“Durian contains high levels of tryptophan. This is an amino acid and a tryptamine (similar to serotonin, melatonin, and DMT). Researchers have discovered that tryptophan helps both anxious, depressed, repressed people, as well as insomniacs.

Tryptophan works by raising serotonin levels in the brain.When serotonin levels increase, a euphoric feeling is felt as a free passage is cleared for nerve impulses to travel.

Durian is such a strong blood cleaner that eating a few durian a day can change the odor of urine (urine is filtered out of blood).What gives durian its strongest beautifying characteristics is its high concentration of raw oleic fats (and vitamin E), sulphur compounds, and soft proteins.

Durian actually contains one of the highest concentrations of protein of any fruit, making it an excellent muscle builder.” Organic sulfur compounds among other properties in durian are very cleansing for the body. Durian provides “more concentrated healthful energy in food form than any other product the world affords” - to keep the body vigorous and tireless; the mind alert with faculties undimmed; the spirit youthful





Maybe it will be the next Goji Juice.
