'like a raspberry?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'some of the durian rejected' is the wordplay.
'some of' indicates a hidden word.
'rejected' says the letters should be written backwards.
'edur' can be found hidden inside 'the durian'.
'edur' in reverse letter order is 'RUDE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rude that I've seen before include "'Bad-mannered, discourteous (4)'" , "Impolite - obscene" , "Discourteous or unrefined" , "having no manners?" , "Impudent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
