Nice to meet you, I’m Mark Wiens, a full time travel eater, blogger, and video host who loves to eat. When it comes to fruit, nothing compares to the king of fruits – the durian – notorious for its pungent smell. Back in high school a friend of mine gave me an anonymous candy, raving about how good it was, with a smile on his face. He could hardly control his laughter as I popped it in my mouth. Yes, it was a durian candy, and to his disbelief, I loved it! Excited to share my love for durian with you – minus the pungent odor – I’ve teamed up with Banana Joe to bring you real 100% durian chips that are slightly sweet, fruity, and crispy. They are one of my favorite snacks. Enjoy!

Durian is affectionately called the King of Fruit throughout Southeast Asia. With its size, bristly appearance and fanatic following, it’s an appropriate nickname.
