Pass Martha Stewart Some Aloe Cause Twitter Just Burned Her For Confusing Durians With Jackfruit

The internet has been abuzz with the news of lifestyle guru and professional chef Martha Stewart’s website epically failing when it confused photos of durians for jackfruit.

Her website recently published an article, titled “Here’s Exactly How To Use Jackfruit”. Unfortunately, the article featured a nice photo of durians instead of jackfruits.

The article, so blatantly wrong, had a line about jackfruit appearing right before a picture of the durians that said, “This tropical fruit, often grown in India and southeast Asia, has a texture that can be an excellent substitute for meat.”

Obviously, netizens were totally triggered by this.

Hi, @MarthaStewart this is a photo of durians, not jackfruit. https://t.co/xFBr5HuuhI pic.twitter.com/pay3twp6SY

Excuse my language, but WTH?! Durian and jackfruit are miles apart. Durian skin is spiky. The flesh is creamy. Jackfruit doesn't have thorns. The flesh of the fruit is firm. And we never compare the two to tofu. Ever.

Yes, but on the other hand, the mental image of a white person attempting to use durian in the place of jackfruit is pretty awesome. "But this is what Martha said I should use! I believe her, not some Asian person!" 🤣 https://t.co/u5hq9e4jRm

Dear @MarthaStewart, these are not jackfruits. These are durian. Come to Southeast Asia and see for yourself. One whiff and you’ll never mix them up again. https://t.co/mYejiTvAyB pic.twitter.com/K4OdPrvywS

#EpicFail . How can the DOMESTIC QUEEN @MarthaStewart write an article about using jack fruit as a substitute for meat but use a picture of durian? How hard is it to #Google image "J A C K F R U I T"? Can these celebrity #white folks get our SE Asian fruits correct? #Asian pic.twitter.com/2aZZcdqNkU

Since the outburst from netizens, Stewart’s website has removed the images of the durians. We’re still waiting for them to find correct photos of jackfruits though.
