Peeled Jackfruit
Jackfruit is the world's largest tree-borne fruit. When peeled and deseeded, the golden "bulbs" are revealed. It is highly prized for its unique, bubblegum-like tropical aroma and its firm, meaty texture.
Seasonality: In Thailand, jackfruit is available year-round, but the peak season is during the Rainy Season to early Winter (May – December), when the fruit is exceptionally large and sweet.
Flavor & Texture: Intensely sweet with notes of pineapple, mango, and banana. The texture is firm, crisp, and fibrous, which is why it is often used as a natural meat substitute in its unripe state.
Primary uses:
Fresh Snack: Enjoyed straight as a sweet, refreshing dessert.
Thai Desserts: A key ingredient in "Ruam Mit" (mixed dessert in coconut milk) or eaten with sticky rice.
Dried/Crispy: Often vacuum-fried or freeze-dried into crispy chips.
Vegan Meat Substitute: Unripe (green) jackfruit is used in savory dishes, but ripe peeled jackfruit is strictly for sweets.
Benefits:
No Added Sugar: All the sweetness comes from natural fructose and sucrose.
Energy Booster: High in healthy carbohydrates for a quick energy lift.
Digestive Health: Great source of fiber to prevent constipation.
Potassium Rich: Supports heart health and helps regulate blood pressure.
