Peeled jackfruit can be preserved by refrigeration or freezing.
For refrigerated storage, put the peeled jackfruit into a plastic bag, remove the air, tie the bag tightly, and then store it in the refrigerator. The temperature of the refrigerator should be controlled between 0-4℃, which can keep jackfruit fresh for about 2-3 days. Jackfruit stored in the refrigerator is easy to lose water and dry out, so it is best to take it out and warm it up before eating to maintain its taste and flavor.
For frozen storage, put the peeled jackfruit into a sealed bag, remove the air, tie the bag tightly, and then store it in the freezer of the refrigerator. The temperature of the freezer should be controlled below -18°C to keep jackfruit fresh for about 3-6 months. Frozen jackfruit tends to become watery and soft after thawing, so it is best to take it out and thaw it in advance before eating, and use paper towels to absorb the water.
Jackfruit ripening season
Jackfruit is a tropical fruit, and its ripening season varies depending on geographical location and climatic conditions. Generally speaking, the ripening season of jackfruit is mainly in summer and autumn. In tropical areas, such as Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces, the ripening season of jackfruit is usually between June and October every year. Jackfruits in these areas grow in warm and humid climates, so they ripen relatively early.
In subtropical areas, such as Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan and other provinces, the ripening season of jackfruit is usually between July and November every year. Jackfruit in these areas grows in temperate climates and matures relatively late. It should be noted that the ripening time of jackfruit will also be affected by other factors, such as variety, soil, light, etc. Therefore, specific maturation times may vary depending on specific circumstances.
