Mat Jackfruit is very fragrant, sweet, soft and easy to digest. Ripe jackfruit has little resin, the skin is soft, the pulp is no longer attached to the shell, so it is easy to peel and eat at the base of the jackfruit tree. However, unlike chewy jackfruit, when ripe, jackfruit is usually very soft, just touching the pulp can be crushed or watery.

The largest tree fruit in the world, jackfruit sometimes called “jak fruit” or “jak”, can be up to 91 cm long and 50cm wide. Just one fruit can weigh as much as 35-40 kg. While jackfruit first appeared in the rain forests of India, farmers now grow it in many parts of the world, including Thailand, Viet Nam, Africa, Brazil, and the Philippines. Only in recent years has jackfruit started to become well known in the U.S.
Health Benefits
The nutrients in jackfruit may help lower your risk for some health issues, including:
Constipation: Jackfruit is a good source of fiber, so it could help you feel fuller for longer and help keep your bowel movements regular.
Ulcers: The natural chemicals in jackfruit may help prevent these sores from forming inside your stomach.
Diabetes: Your body digests and absorbs jackfruit more slowly than some other foods. That means your blood sugar won’t rise as quickly as it might when you eat other fruits. One study found that jackfruit extract made it easier for people with diabetes to control their blood sugar.
High blood pressure: The potassium in this tropical fruit could help lower your blood pressure, which can help stave off heart disease, stroke, and bone loss.
Skin problems: The high amounts of vitamin C in jackfruit may help protect your skin from sun damage. You need plenty of that nutrient to keep your skin firm and strong.
Cancer: Phytonutrients, like those found in jackfruit, are natural compounds that might have cancer-fighting benefits, such as preventing cancer cells from forming in your body.
How to Store
Once a jackfruit is ripe, it will turn brown and go bad quickly. To keep yours fresh, store it in the refrigerator. When kept cool and dry, a ripe jackfruit can last up to 5-7 days.
