Cutting and peeling a jackfruit can be intimidating because of its large size and spiky exterior. However, with the right technique, it can be a fun and relatively easy process. @myhealthydish on TikTok reveals the best way to prepare a jackfruit!

You first want to make sure you have a sharp knife, a cutting board. My Nguyen recommends spraying your knife with oil because the sap inside the jackfruit is very sticky.  My also recommends putting on a pair of gloves not only to protect you from the stickiness, but as an extra layer of protection from the rough exterior of the fruit.

Start by cutting off the top and bottom of the jackfruit. Then, cut the jackfruit in half lengthwise. Once you have two halves, you can use the knife to cut the jackfruit into quarters. Next, you will need to remove the white, stringy skin and the seeds, and enjoy!

Jackfruit has a sweet taste which many people say is a combination of pineapple, mango, and bananas. The texture of jackfruit is slightly stringy and chewy which makes a great meat substitute, and perfect for vegans and vegetarians who are looking to create mock-meat dishes! No matter how you prepare it, jackfruit is a delicious and versatile fruit.
