Brilio.net - Jackfruit is a fruit that can be enjoyed at various stages of ripeness. In addition to being consumed when ripe, jackfruit can also be processed when it is still young or raw. Young jackfruit is often used as the main ingredient in vegetable dishes that complement the main meal. Two examples of famous dishes that use young jackfruit are gudeg and jackfruit curry.

However, boiling young jackfruit requires special attention. If not done properly, the boiled young jackfruit can turn black. This color change is caused by the high sap content in young jackfruit. When boiled, the sap can react and change the surface color of the young jackfruit to a darker color. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the right boiling technique so that the young jackfruit remains fresh and attractive.
To anticipate these things, you can imitate a simple tutorial shared by YouTube user CHANEL MAMA FREDO.
