Jackfruit Seeds As Polvoron

Jackfruit Seeds as Polvoron : Acceptability
Introduction
Background
The Filipino version of polvorón (sometimes spelled "polboron" or "pulburon") is
made from toasted flour, sugar, powdered milk, and butter or margarine instead of lard.
In contrast to other polvorón, it is not baked and has a very fine powder-like and dry
consistency. Though usually compressed and shaped by round or oval tin molds and
individually wrapped in colorful papel de japón or cellophane, it can also be eaten in its
toasted powder form stored in jars. A polvorón (From polvo, the Spanish word for
powder, or dust) is a type of heavy, soft, and very crumbly Spanish shortbread made
of flour, sugar, milk, and nuts (especially almonds). They are mostly produced
in Andalusia, where there are about 70 factories that are part of a syndicate that
produces polvorones and mantecados.[1] Under the name mantecados, these sweets
are a traditional preparation of other areas of the Iberian Peninsula and other Spanish-
speaking countries as well. Polvorones are popular holiday delicacies in all
of Spain, Hispanic America, the Philippines, and other Spanish-influenced countries
around the world. Traditionally, they were prepared from September to January, but
they are now available all year round.
Now a days, in the colorful tapestry of Filipino cuisine, polvoron is an icon that
stands as a testament to the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines. This delectable,
powdery confection has graced the tables of Filipino homes for generations, offering a
delightful blend of flavors and textures in each crumbly bite. Traditionally made with
powdered milk, sugar, and toasted flour, polvoron has earned a special place in the
hearts of many Filipinos. Filipinos are known for their creativity in the kitchen, and
always eager to explore new flavors and ingredients. In preserving the Filipinos
tradition, researchers must also be open to embrace new innovation.
However, the researchers of this study will introduce a unique twist to the classic
polvoron: the incorporation of jackfruit seeds. It's a testament to our adaptability,
resourcefulness, and appreciation for the bountiful gift of nature. Jackfruit seeds are
packed with protein, providing an alternative source for those seeking to reduce their
consumption of animal products. These seeds are roasted to perfection, lending a
unique nutty aroma and flavor profile to the polvoron. The natural creaminess of jackfruit
seeds complements the traditional ingredients of powdered milk and sugar, creating a
symphony of flavors and textures that are both familiar and novel. In addition, jackfruit
seeds to polvoron not only enhances its flavor but also boosts its nutritional content,
making it a snack that is both indulgent and wholesome.
