How to choose delicious jackfruit without chemicals
- You should choose jackfruit that has almost no white latex (sap) when cut open, has a uniform appearance without bumps or dents on the skin, and has a characteristic fragrant smell.
- Delicious, naturally ripened jackfruit usually feels very soft to the touch, with large eyes and less sharp thorns.
- Avoid buying jackfruit that has white sap oozing from the inside, has dents on the skin, and the waist of the jackfruit is often prone to pests, with a lot of fibers or hardness.
- Do not choose fruit with hard, thick thorns, small eyes, and still green on the outside, with no fragrant smell. Because they may have been soaked in chemicals, which is not good for health.

Prepare the jackfruit
After buying the jackfruit, you can use a clean cloth to wipe it down or rinse it with water to minimize sticking latex.
Next, boil it with boiling water and 2 teaspoons of salt for about 20 minutes to prevent the jackfruit from turning black. Use a knife to peel the jackfruit, remove excess core, and cut it in half. Then, you cut 1/2 of the jackfruit into bite-sized pieces.
For the chili, just remove the stem, while the shallots and garlic should be minced.
Tip: To avoid jackfruit sap sticking to your hands, you can cut the jackfruit directly under running water. -
Fry jackfruit
Place a pan on the stove, turn the heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan. Wait for the oil to heat up, add the jackfruit and fry for about 10 – 15 minutes until both sides are golden brown and slightly charred, then use tongs to remove it to a plate to cool.
