Hi, gosh this is a new one on me, I will have to research it. I saw it on the internet. OH, MY WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER. I paint tropical flowers from all over the world. Thank you for sharing.
My hope is that if top chefs use this fruit / IT should be safe, however: who knows? I believe not 100% sure that before any product is sold or imported to US mainland it has to possibly go through a variety of health and safety food inspections? It would be interesting to learn of the nutritional aspects to this fruit? I will look it up to see if I can find information.
There are different forms of fruit. Grandparents from Jalisco Mexicoz/ Agave Tequila/Blue Agave Salmiana/ used sugar cane syrup know as Agave syrup . Amazing. cane stalks were cut macerated, liquified and dried into virtually raw powdered sugar if allowed to dry out in large barrels. Other things were combined like lemon, fruits ect ect, spices. Nothing taste better than raw from the plant sugar syrup or powder in coffee, teas, baked goods. Nothing. No artificial anything. I enjoy learning about foods from different parts of the world on travel shows or cooking shows. Fascinating. Sugar cane was fed to pigs and given to horses ... go figure? Family owned farmland where Magueys were harvested.

Right about a fruit like durian being on lists for ag inspectors. Although I was wondering if anyone in the U.S. grows durian. Perhaps down in Florida or the Carib. Let us know what you find out and I'll research too. See below:
"Can you get durian fruit in the USA? Durian is grown in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, with some locations importing to the west more than others. There are a few American locations that attempt to grow the fruit, including Hawaii and Puerto Rico, where the temperature is sometimes favorable."
and this item from Quora (can durian be grown in the U. S.?
Not in the mainland, but in the island territories of the US such as Hawaii and Puerto Rico that falls in the tropical zone. Durian is basically an ultra tropical tree, which requires a minimum 18 degrees celsius temperature for fruiting. The ideal temperature range for durian would be 22 - 32 degree celsius, meaning that it is impossible for them to survive anywhere outside the tropics.
However, certain varieties with adaptations for cooler climates, such as Australia's Macrantha Durian and Thailand's Lin Laplae and Long Laplae may come up well in the warmest regions of southern Florida. Even the Malaysian Red Prawn might just do well.
