Jackfruit Farm in Solferino

प्रकाशित: 30.03.2017

Greetings from the Jackfruit Farm. We arrived there last night (Tuesday, 07.01.2017) and feel very comfortable. Here you really feel like in paradise when you wake up.


Waking up in Paradise :)

The beautiful residential house is about 1km from the plantation, where the jackfruits grow on the trees. On our first day, we helped harvest ripe and unripe jackfruits and then processed them in the afternoon.

You can eat the ripe jackfruits by removing the skin (sharp tool and muscle strength required) and then cutting out the individual fruit segments and removing the seeds.

Jackfruit comes in different flavors and can taste similar to mango, pineapple, or orange, for example. Really delicious and also incredibly healthy and rich in vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and more.

The seeds are processed into coffee by Mitchel (the owner of the Jackfruit Farm) by first drying and roasting them, and then grinding and airtight packaging the seeds. The coffee tastes the same as regular coffee, but without caffeine.

You can eat the unripe jackfruits almost completely by cutting them into pieces after peeling and removing the core. The jackfruit can also be used as a meat substitute and is particularly interesting for vegans and vegetarians for a balanced diet. In stews or in Mexican dishes like Mole or Tinka, jackfruit tastes completely the same and also has the same fibrous consistency as chicken.

Here we are cooking 'Mole with Jackfruit'.
