Where can you buy jackfruit? You can typically buy it at an Asian grocery store such as 99 Ranch Market. They are usually shipped whole (and likely frozen) from Thailand. You can pick out a good jackfruit by making sure that it is:
1) Has a strong aroma
2) Has many, dark spots covering the spines
3) You can pick it up without hurting yourself
4) It is slightly squishy to the touch
Young, canned jackfruit is also often used as a meat substitute. If you want this, you should buy it in brine as a canned good.
The jackfruit pods are actually a collection of flowers with a seed inside. The fruit grows on the side and on top of a jackfruit tree and is one of the world's most delicious fruits.
The jackfruit seeds are edible! You can boil or roast them and they taste like mild chestnuts, or you can put them in curries, soups, etc. They are full of nutrients.
How do you eat a jackfruit? As you can tell, you can peel out the pods and remove the white, fibrous strands. The yellow pedals are edible.
Benefits of jackfruit: extremely high levels of vitamin C, antioxidants, magnesium, vitamin B6 and fiber. This helps you poop, keep energy levels up, stave off cancer and helps you sleep.

    Thank you for this video. I see whole jackfruit in our local supermarket now (they usually only have 2 or 3 of the fruits at the most) and would like to try it. I have been reluctant because they huge and I feel like if it's not properly ripened it will be a waste of time and money. Is the sap really so sticky you can't clean it off a knife and would have to throw it away? I can't imagine that.

  • @LifeofLin

    they can ripen off the tree if needed. you'll know if it's ready if you see brown spots that give slightly to pressure. I wouldn't use a "nice" knife since it'll give it wear/tear but using oil you can wash the sap off and it'll be clean!

    Arthur Levine thanks for sharing your experience with everyone! It’s a useful tip! I didn’t use coconut oil because it was winter and my coconut oil turned solid and I was too lazy to heat it up before using. I like how versatile jackfruit is! It can be used in a lot of different recipes. But remember if you are going to use it as a meat replacement then you have to get raw jackfruit so the taste and texture is more like meat.

    Rachel Nunez jackfruit is very yummy and nutritious fruit to eat. If you want to cook with it make sure you use a raw jackfruit. Raw jackfruit isn’t sweet and the texture is more meat-like. I’ve been traveling a lot so I’ve been more focused on my travel vlogs, so I haven’t posted a jackfruit cooking video yet. I’m sorry for the delay. I will let you know as soon as I do post that video. Thanks for watching! 😊

    So if they are dark on the outside they are ripe? Is there a fragrance when ripe as well? I want to try one but they are gigantic and I want to make sure it is ripe.
