Avoid These Fruits In Gelatin-Based Desserts

1.Papaya

Papaya contains an enzyme called papain, which can break down gelatin. Cooked or canned papaya may be a better option.

2.Pawpaws

Pawpaws are not typically used in gelatin desserts and they aren't fit for this use either. Raw pawpaws especially are not fit for gelatin desserts

3.Pineapple

Pineapples have an enzyme called bromelain, which can break down gelatin and prevent it from setting properly.

4.Kiwi

Kiwis have actinidin, which can also interfere with the gelling process of gelatin and result in inconsistency

5.Mango

Mango has high levels of acidity which can slow down the setting process and it's best not to use them with gelatin

6.Guava

Guavas contain enzymes that can affect the texture of gelatin, so it's best to cook or blanch guava before using it in gelatin-based desserts

7.Figs

Figs don't always freeze or set well and may not be ideal for gelatin-based desserts. Although using smaller quantities may be okay

8.Melons

It's best to avoid melons in gelatin since they have excess moisture. If they're drained thoroughly and cut into small pieces they may set better
