Brilio.net - Jackfruit has various important benefits for body health. Based on information from webmd.com, the fiber content in jackfruit is very good for the digestive system. Consuming jackfruit regularly can help prevent various health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, and skin disorders.
Jackfruit can be utilized both in ripe and young conditions. Young jackfruit is often used as a raw material in making various side dishes for rice. Some popular preparations from young jackfruit include gudeg, gulai, urap, spiced stir-fries, and coconut milk dishes.
Young jackfruit storage can be done for long-term supplies. According to the experience of a netizen named Linda, young jackfruit can last for months or even up to a year. The durability of young jackfruit is very dependent on the right storage method.
"This will last for months, it can even last up to a year," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube/Linda Gallery on Monday (11/11).
Jackfruit must first be peeled from its skin, then cut into pieces according to the desired size. After that, wash it clean to reduce the sap. While washing, cut the base or middle of the jackfruit because that part has a hard texture and is less delicious when consumed. When it is clean, drain the jackfruit.

After that, heat a pan filled with water to boil the jackfruit. When the water is hot, put in the jackfruit. Also pour in one or two tablespoons of vegetable oil. This oil is important to prevent the sap from sticking to the pan and to help the young jackfruit not turn black after being boiled.

Cook while covering the pan so that the jackfruit cooks quickly. Linda also explained that young jackfruit should be stirred occasionally. Boiling young jackfruit before storing it can also prevent the taste from turning bitter. Boil the jackfruit until the texture is half soft, then remove and drain.

Next, let the young jackfruit sit at room temperature until it is no longer hot. When it is cold, pack the jackfruit using a container or plastic. Linda herself uses clear plastic by the kilo and she separates the jackfruit per serving, so it will be easier when needed. Jackfruit that has been tightly packed can be stored in the freezer.
