Cempedak Fruit

My aunt  bought some Cempedak fruit  from Ipoh . Many traders hawking  these fruit on the side of the road. The fruit was creamy and bitter sweet...yum yum yummy...

Now it is Cempedak fruit season again and this thorny fruit is the family's favourite fruit. Rich in  vitamin A and C   which is higher than the jackfruit, and contain fiber food (dietry fiber) which is high enough to help keep your digestive tract health and dialing cholesterol in the blood.


Cempedak fruit help nourish the eyes, given the amount of vitamin A is quite high, which is about 200 SI per 100 grams. Vitamin A plays a role in keeping the cornea to keep it healthy. But  bad for diabetic patient for it is rich in fruit glucose.

I  had this for dessert last Sunday after a half stomach fulled lunch . I purposely kept a little space in my stomach for this King fruit. I thought of keeping some for making Cempedak goreng / fried Cempedak  but in the end I rather eat it fresh  :)) the oomph is terrific.

 Cempedak fruit has a distinctive aroma Likewise durian fruit.The strong sweet aroma filled the whole house and if you think you want to hide it from your neighbor , think again for this is a fruit that you can't hide from your neighbor .  The aroma will reveal the fruit  . But unlike durian, Cempedak fruit aroma is not so striking in comparison arom durian has a very striking, which sometimes are durian it smells like there is not. Actually, in terms of shape and physical characteristics are more similar to Cempedak fruit jackfruit, but in terms of texture and taste of the fruit flesh is more stable than the jackfruit.
Enjoy drooling at this cempedak for the time being :)
