How to Remove the Fruit and Seeds from a Jackfruit

Jackfruits are enormous fruits with a very sweet and aromatic flavor. And they are unlike any fruit around. If you’ve seen one at an Asian market but were intimated by its size, rest assured they are relatively easy to prep.

They extrude a very sticky latex that is very difficult to remove – no matter what it touches. So, disposable gloves for your hands, butcher paper or newspaper for your work surface, and a rubbing of oil on your knife will all help to keep it off as you work. No guarantees, though.
