Description
Baby jackfruit, also known as young jackfruit or “polos” in Sri Lanka, is the young, unripe fruit of the jackfruit tree. It has a firm texture and mild flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in Sri Lankan cuisine. Baby jackfruit is commonly used in curries, stir-fries, and salads. To prepare baby jackfruit, it is typically boiled or pressure-cooked until tender. It is then marinated with spices, coconut milk, and other ingredients, allowing it to absorb the flavors and become tender and flavorful. The ready-to-eat baby jackfruit can be served as a main dish or used as a filling in sandwiches or wraps.
