How to keep jackfruit fresh

Jackfruit is very delicious. When buying jackfruit, you must pay attention to its freshness and storage methods. Under normal circumstances, the jackfruit pulp can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Of course, if it is frozen, it can be kept for 1 to 2 months, and freezing often does not affect the taste of the jackfruit. Of course, if you eat it as soon as possible, you can put it in the refrigerator. This is a better way to preserve it.

1. Storage method

Jackfruit pulp can be frozen, and freezing will not affect its taste, but it is best to wrap it with plastic wrap or a fresh-keeping box before freezing to prevent the smell of other items in the refrigerator from contaminating the jackfruit, especially it should be stored separately from seafood and river food. In addition, the jackfruit can also be processed into dried fruit. Use an oven or microwave oven, bake it slowly over low heat, turn it over halfway, and gradually dry out the moisture. The dried jackfruit processed in this way can be stored for a long time, but in order to prevent it from getting damp, it still has to be sealed in a fresh-keeping bag or box and refrigerated or frozen.

2. Cooking method

Jackfruit pulp can be fried or boiled. Cut the jackfruit into slices and stir-fry with the meat. The jackfruit pulp can be soaked in light salt water, washed, cored and sliced, then the lean meat slices, added salt and starch and mixed evenly. Heat oil in a hot pan, add ginger and garlic to season, add the meat slices and stir-fry evenly, add a small amount of cooking wine, light soy sauce, and sugar to allow the meat to be colored and flavored, then put the jackfruit meat slices in and stir-fry quickly before serving. Jackfruit meat is easy to cook, so it should be added last. The same is true for making soup. Cook other ingredients first and then add the jackfruit meat and cook together.

3. How to eat

The flesh of ripe jackfruit can be eaten directly. If you open the jackfruit yourself, the flesh may be stained with white mucus, which should be washed off before eating. The flesh, yellow silk and core are separated and the flesh can be eaten directly. There are also ways to make the flesh into dishes or wrap rice in the jackfruit and steam it for consumption.
