People in India eat jackfruit with great joy. Apart from being sweet and tasty, this seasonal delight comes with a host of nutrients that keep you energised during the warm months. Many people also consider it suitable for the digestive system. But unless you have a jackfruit tree in your backyard, the availability of a ripe jackfruit may be a concern. Fret not; we’ll tell you some of the best ways to ripen raw jackfruit at home within three to four. These home-ripened jackfruits are certainly yummier than the ones you get in the market.
Carbide: The easiest way to cook any raw fruit and vegetable is to use carbide. Raw jackfruit gets cooked deliciously in two to three days with its use.
- First, put some paper in a paper box and spread it well.
- Now, put one to two spoons of carbide in a cotton cloth with jackfruit in this box.
- Cover it with something from above and keep it in any corner of the house.
- After two days, you will have a ripe jackfruit in front of you.
Grass: Apart from carbide, you can also use grass for ripening jackfruit.
- Put some grass in a bucket or a big pot, spread it well, and keep the jackfruit.
- Then put some grass on top, cover it with a cloth or sack, and leave it for one to two days.
- After two days, you will see that jackfruit is ready.
Ethylene: People also use ethylene to help ripen raw jackfruit. With its use, jackfruit ripens within one to two days.
- Keep paper or grass-pallet in the box.
- Now, tie two to three pinches of ethylene in a paper or cloth and keep it in the box.
Before touching carbide and ethylene, wear gloves in your hands. Otherwise, it may cause itching.
Rice: Due to its large size, ripening jackfruit in rice can be a bit of a hassle. But it is one of the best ways to ripen anything naturally.
- Keep the rice in a big box or sack, wrap jackfruit in paper and keep it for one to two days.
- After two days, you will get a ripe jackfruit in front of you. Make sure that you do not open the rice box or sack repeatedly.
