I harvested a Jack Fruit from my orchard today. It was too big for me 55 lbs. so I gave it to some dear friends who are from the Philippines'. They were so happy, I wish you could see their faces. I loved your video and hope to see more of them.Aloha from the Big Island.

[@wendiland]

+David Harris Aloha David! That is awesome! Wish I was there too! haha So kind of you to share.

[@David-y8m8z]

I open my first jackfruit. had no idea about the sticky sap. I glue my fingers together then I glue my hands to my clothes. soap and alcohol does not Wash off the sap. gonna wear glove next time. very delicious fruit. taste like cantaloupe or bubble gum. learn my first lesson. will try oil next time. cheers

[@kevinoloane6060]

The Lazy Gardner let the fruit fully ripen u wont get any sap

[@curbyweaver4606]

Kevin Oloane; Wrongo, I opened a totally ripe Jack Fruit and the sticky sap FLOWED out of it! I also didn't know about the sap, that's why I'm here, to find out how now to proceed. I'm gonna boil the seeds now.

[@Berkeloid0]

@@curbyweaver4606The sap seems to be worse if you cut the core in half. If you cut around it (imagine slicing an apple so you don't cut through the core) then it seems like there will be less sap.

[@kellytsai3]

Gloves and oil are helpful. Covering your cutting surface with a paper bag or plastic wrap also makes the cleanup easier.

[@tougeruzbay]

Same here, learned it the hard way and the next jack fruit I did was with oiling my hands and big betty blade and it worked perfectly.

[@fastflo]

[@emilyaitch8143]

I saw these for only $2 the other day. Really wish I bought one! Now that I know how to open it I think I'm going back to snag it. I really want to try it!!!!

That’s probably $2 per pound…

hello Wendi, i am working in a produce dept. here in Michigan and we selling Jackfruit, a lot of our guest is so amaze when they see this fruit. and because i grew up in asia, i have a lot of knowledge about the fruit. and thank for this vedeo show

[@MsViva710]

You are so natural in front the camera, so pleasant and friendly, I can can tell that you love what you do and you love sharing. Thank you! I haven't eaten Jack fruit in ages. many many years ago it has been. I cant even remember when I last ate it. but it looks yummy.

[@wendiland]

Valerie Anderson Thank you, Valerie! I am so happy that KZbin exist so that I can share my joy and passion with you. Jackfruit is one of my top favorite fruits! I hope you'll get to eat it again soon.

[@missypfeiffer6012]

Great helpful video! Started cutting into it before I watched the video. I had sticky fingers, seeds popping out, white stringy things everywhere and thought I better watch a KZbin video about this. Yours was the perfect video🎉 I appreciate the tip about applying oil to hands and knife and suggestions of how to eat it and the seeds. Thank you very much❤

[@PrestonBozeman]

I have tried jackfruit before! The first time I tried it at my friends birthday party, I LOVED IT!!!! When I went to buy my own, it wasn't very good.... it was a very strong taste, it was like eating rubber or wax..... it tasted alright though, and they need to make jackfruit juice because the smell is SOOO fragrant and delicious.

[@wendybesse90]

this is how I eat it too...as each piece comes out, it goes into my mouth. delicious at all different ripeness levels.

[@essenceruss6244]

I love how much you are enjoying it! Makes me even more ready to take on the challenge!

Subbed. There's absolutely no way I could not sub after watching this video!! I recently bought a dragon fruit and I found your video on it. After watching a few others on the moss ball plant and luffa plant and this video just took the cake! I love how funny you are! A foodie after my own heart!

I love to take the little fruit pods, take the seed out, and and fill the empty cavity with passion fruit seeds and eat it whole. The tartness elevates the whole jackfruit flavor. *chef’s kiss*

[@mxvdsgn]

another good thing about this fruit that you can eat the seeds too by boiling them. i do it, and its tasty. nice vids .

I just had one for the first time. The one I had was on its way out as far as freshness, but it tasted interesting, and I think if I get a ripe one, it might become a new favorite.

[@kursor52]

I have been eating these from a can since I was little only when I started working at a fresh produce store did I realize how big they were whole. My manager told me to carry a few in the freezer, thinking it was going to be easy I wondered why he gave me a trolley and large baskets.

[@suginami123]

I love this fruit. In Thailand I had it fried as a veg. Superb.

[@ladyEnchantressGarden]

I just discovered your channel and loving it. Jackfruit is my fav, helped me lose weight and it's yummy

[@lolw2]

Is it safe to eat after opening it with sap all over??? I read that means it is not ripe?? What do I do with the jackfruit meat, pretreat them with oil??

[@ladyEnchantressGarden]

Hi @@lolw2, usually the white sap does not stick to the meat itself if it's fully ripe. The color should be rich yellow or orange that can be easily separated by hand from the fruit. :)

[@lolw2]

@@ladyEnchantressGarden thanks for responding. whether it is ripe or not, is it safe to eat now that it is bought and peeled open? First time buying this fruit fresh and have no idea what to expect so was taken by surprise of all the sap

[@lolw2]

[@ladyEnchantressGarden]

@@lolw2 😂 i would be very glad did lose about 20lbs for 1.5 months in natural way.. gather some clips tho and videos from "fatty days" till now. Will have it on my channel in a few weeks 😉. Unripe jackfruit is not advisable to be eaten raw esp with its sap. We usually cooked it or some salad asian resipe with vinegar, garlic, ginger based.

this was helpful. Thanks wendi. I even did coconut oil pull to get rid of sticky from my mouth. that tree sap is pretty insane. but yeah now my fingers are sticky. HAHA super super sticky. using oil now. I think i'm not going to buy jack fruit again it was too much work. I got one for $0.56 a pound at 99 ranch mexican version.

[@kloydarnepena454]

I believe its one of the 'trade winds fruit'...there is one much rare, we call it locally as 'marang' and designated as the 'trade winds fruit' only comes out in season like the durian...early September till December...whereas the Jackfuit bears fruit pretty much in year round...we just create smoke from fallen leaves around the base of its trunk...helps inducing the tree to flower and bear fruits more often...same thing we do with our mamgoes... Hello there Wendi Phan...love this fruit too...we love to eat them out from the freezer...mmm...tastes like natural candy...;-)

[@kloydarnepena454]

^mangoes^...philippine carabao mangoes are the best in the world...

[@Machster10]

Marinate it in meat seasonings, A1 sauce, pepper, garlic, red pepper, vinegar, salt, etc etc and will taste pretty close to something like carnitas.

It's Alien Pod Fruit! :-) Saw one in the grocery store recently and was curious to see what it's all about. Too messy for me to handle, but at least I can tell my friends about it.

[@wendiland]

It’s so delicious that it’s worth the mess and effort to me. Some markets have the precut ones. I hope yours does too!

[@Apusays]

I eat the seeds after eating flesh by boiling them in the water. The texture and taste would taste slightly like of the potato. :)

lovely update thanks for sharing

[@lakerfan82k3]

I’ve never opened one of these, but I feel like I’d be fucking terrified using an oiled up kitchen knife. Lol

[@samirali9071]

some will be a little yellow but that's only when it's fresh it means tree ripe when the fruit is ripe while still on the tree but it rear to get that in shop coz less life time those that is half ripe they get brown in some time while still in self I hope you understood

[@babeena_gt_3645]

You can eat the raggy stuff too,but it has to be cooked. My vegan sis uses it to make imitation pulled pork ,with out pork

[@lolw2]

So wendy, what happens if i cut open and there is a lot of sap? Is it edible? Do I need to rid of all the sticky substance on the jackfruit meat? How? I have basket full of jackfruit meat that I peeled off and do not know what to do??

[@JuanaPray333]

I got about 6 large langka growing now in our tree. HUGE! And many little ones growing. I will cut and pull the skin down lengthwise and tear it off leaving the fruit intact in the middle. Then I'll pluck it out 1 by 1, put in container and FREEZE it! Yum! Jackfruit candy! Since I will have a lot, I will cook the in sugar and water, a sweet dessert or afternoon snack! How we do it in the Philippines!

[@JuanaPray333]

And of course, I will share with the less fortunate as 1-3 pc. is enough to supply and more, nutrition for 1 child, in a day! Blessings!

[@wendiland]

Vinod Bhatia Raw jackfruit taste amazing! You have to try it next time! It's chewy, very sweet, smells wonderful! You have to find a ripe one to taste sweet and without sap. Stir frying it with rice is so good too! Or eat it raw in a salad. :)

Hillbilly Guru I haven't seen good, ripe jackfruit from a can. A lot of jackfruit in cans are the young green types, which can be cooked (like the vegan pulled pork trend), but it's not meant to be eaten straight out of the can. Fresh ones are so much better. (If they're ripe)

Unless you have coconut oil and do it the smart way and take your time cutting it up you will get the hang of it.

Really really large fruit and a cute video. Where are the fruit available? I live in the south in the states.

[@wendiland]

You should find them in Asian markets...Depending where you are located, I assume Texas or Florida with higher Asian population would have it, or maybe Mexican markets since our jackfruits are from Mexico. Hope you find it and give it a try!

[@wittlekittie3512]

HEB has them in Texas. And Kroger. Sometimes Lowes

[@DocLobster94]

We have them in Asian markets in North Carolina

[@wendiland]

@damien geoghegan Dried jackfruit smells very similar to the fresh, but not as strong. You loose the texture (chewiness) and juice of a fresh one. It's really not comparable to a fresh in my opinion, but it wouldn't hurt to try it if that's the closest thing you can get to. Let me know how you like it!

[@sindollface]

Oh my goodness! I’ve never seen or heard of this fruit! That piece u are looked like a tiny yellow pepper. Wish u described what it taste like. (Video #4 today)!

[@wendiland]

Jackfruit - the “Juicyfruit gum” supposed to mimic flavor of jackfruit. The fruit is actually very sweet, not a lot of tang at all, chewy, rubbery, very strong tropical fragrant. Hard to compare this to any other fruits.

Hi Wendi how long did you boil the seeds

[@benclayton6651]

Wendi, how long is it good for nutritionally speaking once it's been cut up? And once it's been opened, I assume you refrigerate the rest of it.

[@kiranbhanu1982]

can we store in refrigerator , how many days it good

[@junaedbinhelal370]

The proper way is to pick the cells from top to bottom without cutting the middle portion. Just cut a little bit of skin from the upper side and drag the skin to the bottom while you are picking up the cells. Yes it is essential to use oil to get rid of the sap. If you don't cut the middle portion the amount of sap will be very little. Thanks from Bangladesh
