Cempedak

Fresh Cempedak (Mít Tố Nữ) – The Sweet Sister of Jackfruit (Whole Fruit) Experience an exceptional tropical delicacy with a whole Cempedak (Vietnamese: Mít tố nữ). This rare and highly aromatic exotic fruit belongs to the mulberry family and is often considered the smaller, yet far more intensely flavored, sister of the famous jackfruit. Taste & Aroma Cempedak is known for its soft, golden-yellow flesh and its wonderfully sweet flavor. Its taste is often described as a luxurious blend of honey, ripe mango, and creamy caramel, finished with a delicate tropical fragrance. What Makes Cempedak Special? Unlike the much larger jackfruit, Cempedak is remarkably easy to open. Once the fruit is fully ripe and soft, simply slice the spiky skin lengthwise. The juicy fruit pods remain attached to a central core, allowing you to lift the entire cluster of golden flesh out of the shell in one piece. Product Details Product: Whole Cempedak (Artocarpus integer) Commercial Name: Fresh Cempedak Label Synonyms: Mít tố nữ / 整个菠萝蜜 (Whole fruit from the jackfruit family) Condition: Fresh, whole, uncut fruit Serving Suggestion: Enjoy the soft fruit pods fresh. The seeds are also edible after boiling or roasting and have a delicious, chestnut-like nutty flavor.

The fruit is ready to eat when the skin yields slightly to gentle finger pressure and gives off an intense, sweet aroma. Store at room temperature until fully ripe.
