Notes
- Jackfruit seeds carry a thin peel like garlic on the top. It can easily be removed by first drying them a little. This peel cracks at some places and then easily be removed.
- Some seeds crack open making it easier to peel with your fingernails, but others might need help with a knife. Be careful when you peel, the skin can be sharp, like hard plastic.
- If you find some seeds do not have cracked peel, then you can use mortar and pestle to crack the peel open.
- Make sure you peel them off before boiling as wet seeds are really hard to peel off due to this layer becoming slippery.
