Can you eat unripe jackfruit? How to eat unripe jackfruit

Jackfruit is a late-ripening fruit. Many people find that it is not ripe at all when they want to eat it after buying it. How should it be eaten at this time? The best way is to ripen the unripe jackfruit before eating it. The following editor will write down the method of ripening it, so that everyone can fully understand how to eat unripe jackfruit.

1. Heating and ripening

If the unripe jackfruit has not been opened, you can ripen it by heating it. The best way is to wrap it with newspaper, then light the newspaper with a lighter to increase the temperature of the peel, and then put it in a warm environment. After two or three days, the jackfruit will be ripe. You can then remove the peel and eat the flesh directly.

2. Fruit ripening

If you find that the jackfruit is not fully ripe after opening it and you don’t want to eat it, you can use other fully ripe fruits to ripen it. Put the jackfruit pulp in a plastic bag, put one or two ripe apples or pears in it, then seal them and place them in a warm environment. After one day, the jackfruit pulp will be ripe and will taste sweet when you eat it.

3. Make desserts

The unripe jackfruit pulp tastes a bit sour and astringent and is not suitable for eating directly. If you don’t want to ripen it, you can directly remove the seeds inside and get the pulp. Put it in a small pot, add appropriate amount of rock sugar and lemon juice and cook until it boils. Then cook for about half an hour. The jackfruit pulp in the pot will be ripe and can absorb a lot of sugar. After it is cooked, turn off the heat and take it out to eat. It tastes particularly good.

4. Stew

Unripe jackfruit can be stewed into soup. It can be stewed with a variety of meat ingredients such as black chicken, pork ribs, squab, etc. When stewing, you can take out the yellow flesh inside the unripe jackfruit, take out the discarded core and wash it with clean water, put all in the pot, add the prepared meat ingredients and appropriate amount of clean water and stew together. After stewing, season it according to your needs, which can make the prepared soup fresh and attractive, and the taste of the jackfruit flesh will also become much better.
