Vacuum-Fried Jackfruit: Jackfruit in its Hippest Form
I was astonished when my officemate brought a pack of Baybay Delights’ Vacuum-Fried Jackfruit for us to taste. “It’s crispy and tastes like jackfruit!” I commented. Then I remembered the famous Vinamit Jackfruit Chips, which is a signature product of Vietnam sold in airports and, incidentally, in a small Vietnamese village in Palawan. The taste of Baybay Delights’ is not far from Vinamit but the former is much cheaper.
Vacuum frying technology has the potential to produce healthier snacks with better taste and texture. That’s because the fresh fruit is being fried under vacuum and at low temperature hence, its original color and flavor and nutrition are maintained. It also produces crunchier and crispier products.
