The jackfruit you just bought is inedible. Wait until it becomes soft before cutting. In addition, jackfruit can be divided into hard meat and soft meat according to the hardness of pulp, and the two kinds of jackfruit are cut in the same way.
1. First, prepare a knife that can cut jackfruit, and coat the surface of the knife with a layer of edible oil (usually light peanut oil). Because jackfruit is a fruit rich in emulsion, it is difficult to remove these emulsions from tools, so it is necessary to coat the tools with a layer of edible oil in advance to prevent the emulsion from sticking to the tools.
Spread the newspaper on the floor, and then put the jackfruit on the newspaper. Now you can prepare for cutting (of course, the newspaper is laid to prevent the emulsion from sticking to the floor).
3. Cut the whole jackfruit from the middle with a knife coated with edible oil. At this point, you will find a white cotton-like object with mucus in the center of the section. This cotton-like body is inedible and needs to be removed.
4. Next, cut two and a half jackfruits in half vertically, then put on disposable plastic gloves and take out the white cotton-wool body in the middle and throw it away. Now, the yellow pineapple bag is completely in front of your eyes.
5. Pick off the pineapple bags one by one by hand, and then remove the mucus from them to eat.
Second, how to eat jackfruit
Soak the pineapple bag in light salt water for about 2 minutes, take it out and drain it, then peel it and eat it. In addition to this method of eating directly raw, we can also fry jackfruit with glutinous rice flour, steam glutinous rice with jackfruit, chop it up and eat it in steamed buns, cut it into shredded pork or break it into juice, all of which are delicious ways to eat jackfruit.
Don't throw the jackfruit core. After cleaning, put it in clean water, add appropriate amount of salt and cook for about 10 minute. It tastes crisp, tastes like chestnut, and has the effect of invigorating the middle energizer. It is also delicious to cook soup with meat after jackfruit is pitted. It can also be broken into bean paste buns or bean paste pies, baked or wrapped in flour and fried.
Supplementary explanation:
1, the mucus of jackfruit is easy to make people allergic, so when we cut or eat jackfruit, we'd better wear disposable plastic gloves to prevent the mucus from sticking to the skin.
2, the flesh of jackfruit, it is best to soak in light salt water for about 2 minutes before eating, this is also to prevent allergies, but also to make the flesh of jackfruit fresher.
3. The flesh of jackfruit will be sweeter after freezing.
4. If you accidentally stick the mucus of jackfruit on your hands or skin, you can wash it with peanut oil, which makes it easier to wash it off, and the cutter can also be washed with peanut oil.
