This tray of mangosteens stared at me in different stages of ripeness. A reflection of the growth I've seen and going through. There is a readiness inside that will take time.
Gawai Ba'ak. Head Party by Tiyan Baker (2022) is an art installation commissioned by Sydney College of the Arts Gallery that represents Bidayuh headhunting ceremony. When Tiyan decided to use durians to represent the heads, her juxtaposition of the thorny fruit and decapitated heads became (for me) an incredible voice of taboo and misconception of Western perception towards Indigenous culture and this fruit.
First time buying whole frozen durian online and won't be the last time. Our durian was to die for and the whole ordering process was so easy.

Top quality produce, prompt & friendly, accommodates special requests & shares deep knowledge of tropical fruits. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine finding fresh Aussie grown durian & cempedak!

As a busy mum of two, working full time, it’s been so convenient and easy for me to use the TFC website to order all the fruits and veg I don’t have time going to asian grocery stores hunting or markets to source myself.

Easy transaction and on time delivery! I love how convenient i can get fruits especially those that are rare to find in a fruit market. Been looking for langsat/lansones everywhere but i only found it here. Thank you thorny fruit for sourcing this fruit. Brings the whole experience back to my home land The Philippines.

The Thorny Fruit Co has been amazing with delivering exceptionally fresh produce. This service has saved me a lot of time and I'm very grateful that I don't have to lug my kids in and out of the car just so that I can get to an Asian grocery store.
