How To Eat CEMPEDAK FRUIT! | Harvesting and Eating Exotic Asian Fruit! (NOT a Jackfruit)

🎥 Eating a Fishtail Palm Tree: • Eating a FISHTAIL PALM...
Big On Spice - plant based, unique fruits and vegetables, food reviews!
Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand - Welcome to Nakhon Si Thammarat, in Southern Thailand. Today we’re going to pick and eat one of my favorite fruits - Cempedak (In Thai it’s known as a jambada จำปาดะ). #fruit #cempedak #plantbased
We were lucky to be in Southern Thailand during cempedak season. It’s a very seasonal fruit, and it doesn’t travel well - so even just 800 kilometers away in Bangkok it’s very rare to ever find cempedak. But during season in Southern Thailand, it’s everywhere. I’ve eat cempedak countless times, but this was my first time to see it on the tree, growing. And what a sight that is, so much fruit, it’s incredible. We picked a few, and ate both the fruit seeds, and the pulpy outer flesh which is extremely good.
The next day we stopped at a common roadside stall and ate a huge cempedak. And finally to finish off this guide to cempedak, we were at a local market where we ate some deep fried cempedak. Although it’s not the healthiest option, it’s so good. I love especially that when the cempedak is cooked, you can eat the seeds.
If you have a chance, don’t miss eating cempedak fruit - and unique and exotic Southeast Asian fruit, especially common in Southern Thailand, Malaysia, and parts of Indonesia.
Thank you for watching and hope you’re having a fantastic day!

cempedak is one of the members of the jackfruit family and it is also commonly grown throughout Malaysia as well. the sweet and aromatic cempedak fritters are also one of the popular streetfood snacks in Malaysia. we can actually eat its seed straight from the fritters and its tastes starchy and soft. some people use that fruit to make cakes and i have tried a very delicious creamy cempedak cake before. in Borneo, there is also another fruit native to the jackfruit family called tarap which has a very distinct aroma from both jackfruit and cempedak containing bright white fleshes.

[@brusorolsmaihareang6051]

Is it not jack fruit or what I thought it is jack fruit

[@margaretekalaiabdullah8745]

Yes we call it Tibodak in our dialect Bidayuh. I love it especially cempedak fritters n d seeds can boil put a little bit of salt...

[@BigOnSpiceMarkWiens]

Thanks for all the insights Yong!

[@vlife6337]

It’s been a long time since I saw the tarap fruit. Oh I missed my childhood!

[@dozeoff2180]

I used to eat roasted tarap seeds back in my school days 🤤

[@JohnMathurin]

Great passion Mark. One can almost taste the fruit from your vivid experience

The deep fried cempedak was a nice surprise. I did not know you could eat the seed after cooking them. Very cool. And loved the fruit stand. Such a wonderful day.

[@anaslemans2432]

I also love deep fried campada and it is what my Province (Satun) famous for. It has a unique aroma, texture and is unbelievably sweet. It is not for diabetic .

[@manasmaisnam606]

even jackfruit seeds can be fried and consumed

[@BigOnSpiceMarkWiens]

Thank you so much Tosh!

[@armeen78]

The seed taste like a chestnut...very woody and creamy ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Thanks a lot Mark for another good and interesting video!!

[@nikhilsrl]

We have jackfruit in Kerala (South India). South East Asia seems to have so many variants - Jackfruit, Cempedak, Durian etc. Oh and jackfruit seeds can also be fried.

[@eugeniogonzalez5651]

i have not seen a cempedak with seeds and pulp this huge. your second cempedak is a good compromise of the creaminess of durian and the flavor of nangka.... Those fritters remind me of Malaysia which Siuthern area is so close too... great video n fruit Mark!!!

[@BigOnSpiceMarkWiens]

Thank you Eugenio!

[@jeetuharjani422]

Awsome video Mark. I never thought that the apple I was eating earlier is one of the different millions fruits out there. Hope you get that seed to your garden un Bangkok

[@Kaiokenx4_]

Wow this all looks incredible, going to try these fruits all over the world would be a dream come true. Thanks for sharing all the amazing fruits with us mark!

[@nearermygod2thee874]

that was so interesting, i love this channel, especially what to do with the seed x x :)

[@ForkMeeNoodle]

❤️ from Malaysia, glad you covered about Chempedak fritter and the seed that you can eat it by boiling or fried it and you even describe the taste and the texture which is similar to taro,potato or chestnut, you even tell viewers that small fruit are more sweet and juicy compared to the bigger ones, hopes it will help any foreigners and travellers that want to buy the fruits in the future, in my backyard there's a few Chempedak tree and two or three of them are from the rare variant species that have red flesh and it more sweet and juicy compared to the normal ones,hope you can find and try it in the future

[@veraamaylyne3498]

I loved eating the cempedak as we named it in Malaysia. Plentiful in Malaysia. When the fruit is young we cooked it as our vegetable eating with rice. The seeds we boil with little salt till soft.

Mark you are so creative always thinking of new things... like how you are talking while editing like explaining

[@jennifergallardo1322]

Love love your videos.

[@ratnadyani7074]

Cempedak similar to jackfruit but it so much more fragrant and sweet. We used to fried it in the flour batter and eat it warm with tea. Yummy

[@koiyen]

Fried chempedak is always the best!

[@karenlim9159]

The young cempedak can be cook. Just peel the outer skin and cut it up. Cook in a spicy coconut milk sauce. Masak lemak we call it in Sarawak. The ripe fruit seed can be boil too then eat it. Just peel away the brown skin.

[@demistevany234]

Yes, we do that in Indonesia, we cook chicken curry with it

[@demistevany234]

Mark, in Indonesia, the unripe cempedak used for chicken curry ( padang culinary), also unripe pineapple for fish curry. We also fried ripe cempedak like tempura. Very ripe cempedak can also to be jam. And the seed also tasty, we boiled sometimes, the taste is like potato and good for your health.

[@BigOnSpiceMarkWiens]

Thank you Karen, that sounds amazing, would love to try that!

[@MissN1234]

We also cook it too here in borneo indonesia

[@girendrabhuyan8026]

Your editing setup very nice & video

[@miayang7365]

[@easyandnatural6320]

I have been watching this fruit for nearly 30 years in my local shops where I lived ,and strangely never tried once ,I always assumed it to be like a yam , because it was always kept next to yam and sweet potatoes .....Thanks Mark for showing it as a delicious fruit .What a discovery!!!!😂😂

[@tyy7760]

So that’s what I ate 20 years ago. Wow! Awesome!!

[@rarimba8116]

[@deviannamalai9546]

Fried cempadak is my favorite snack!

[@dickymaulanahadinata2544]

Hi Mark, in south borneo/kalimantan, we fermented the cempedak skin and cook it. We called the dish "dami or mandai". Very traditional dish. I hope someday you have a chance to try that dish

[@saifulmohamadsaleh3657]

Mandai... Makannan orang Banjar

[@abdullahalhadad7374]

Cempedak is one of my favourite fruits. U can boil the seeds with a pinch of salt and eat it. VERY CREAMY SEED AND ALSO VERY SWEET FLESH. u can also fry it with flour. SO DELICIOUS.

[@jowschow2885]
