Who's tried cempedak? Does anyone know where I can get a good one on mainland US 😔

[@techports4842]

I don’t know maybe at a fresh market

[@janettepekantan3113]

That cempedak is dried out and rotten. Cempedak is supposed to have vibrant green skin/yellowish brown with a golden orange-yellow meat inside. It is one of our favorite fruit here in Indonesia and it is very versatile. You can eat it raw or cooked it. Most notably as chips, jams, or in a dessert known as "Kolak" (coconut milk based dessert).

[@happuhelon]

😂 its a fruit from indonesia so just come visit here!

[@aizadjd92]

Malaysia mari

[@dirtystuff1452]

Try it on its own and then try frying it with batter, like one of those south east asian banana fritters, its so good.

[@syauronz]

Cempedak should be golden yellow on the inside, and smells sweet, even before you peel it. If you got another chance to find one, you should smell it first.

[@starsheeshstudio830]

and the outside is green

[@umairahfaridfaisal2778]

The fibers on the inside should be the same colour as the fruit too, light yellow to orange-ish. If the outside has a lot of black or brown then it's likely bad.

[@Armz69]

True, the unmistakable sweet scent that you can smell like from a far.

Cempedak is best fried with batter. We called it Cempedak goreng in Malaysia. It's oh so delicious - crispy on the outside and addictively sweet on the inside (it's all natural!). You can also eat the seed, very nutritious.

At first i was wondering what fruit that is, but when you said cempedak i was like "hah?". Since cempedak that i know have yellow-green skin and golden colored fruit inside! Besides... i think the size is a bit too small. Sure cempedak tend to been smaller than jackfruit, but yours a bit too small

[@purrrypaw]

cempedak is one of the traditional fruits in Indonesia. when its ripe, you can find individual golden yellowey fruit flesh and they taste suupeerr sweet. you could also eat the skin by peeling the outer skin first and cut it into like mini square size and marinate it in a salt water then deep fry it. they taste super good with sambal too!!

[@96.irsahyun2.9]

When u see cempedak itself it looks like jackfruit at the outside. FYI, you can deep fried it with the mix of flour, milk, and vanilla. it’s similar to plantain fritters… it’s really flavorful and has nice smell. Actually one of my favorite snack 😂❤

[@johnathannguyen4309]

A cempedak should be even brighter green/yellow on the outside, and has a nice firm texture as well. They probably didn’t care enough to search for a good one or they did actually dupe her. I could clearly see that it’s rotten judging on its outer layer.

I know I’m a year late but THAT cempedak is not even mature! There is literally no flesh in it. A cempedak is just like a jackfruit but smaller and longish. Difference between jackfruit and cempedak is the Skin is a bit more spikier and the flesh is more creamier and rounder. If you know your jackfruit the way they ripen is similar.

As someone who loves cempedak, it should look yellow on the inside, very similar to jackfruit and u also need a oiled knife since it's gonna be veryyy sticky, eating it is very nice tho and the seed, well, idk how but my parents just make it into edible seeds...

[@sandralisa6198]

Cempedak should have sweet smell even before you open it..the outside is yellowish green indicating it's "cooked" and should be golden yellow inside. Black or brown cempedak = already rotten. Hope you get to try it soon..it's unusual to see cempedak that small

I have a cempedak tree at home and the next few weeks is the cempedak season. By the look of it, it is a trash. Ripe cempedak should be light greenish to yellowish on the outside but pale orange on the inside. Those who grew up with cempedak tree will know when to eat just by looking at it and the sweet smell eminating before open it. The texture is softer than jackfruit but harder than durian. Fresh ripe cempedak can be eaten right away or fried it as a tempura cempedak. Cempedak is very sugary in taste.
