How to choose jackfruit

Look at the size

This step is not about looking at the size of the jackfruit. There is no reference for the size of the jackfruit, because the sizes of jackfruits vary, and there is no problem with the size. At this time, the size to look at is the size of the "nails" on the skin. The "nails" on the skin of jackfruits that are still in the growth and development stage will be sharper because it is a growth trend. The "nails" on the skin of jackfruits in the mature stage will be more low-key and conservative, a little softer, but generally the tips of the "nails" have shrunk a little. This is very important.

Observe the skin

The skin of high-quality jackfruit is intact, with many sharp "spikes" or "thorns" in it, which is also the special feature of the skin of jackfruit. It is normal for the skin to have small black spots, which is also a normal phenomenon of mature jackfruit.

However, if there are a lot of these small black spots, or if they are connected into a whole piece of black, you should be careful. Pay attention to see if the black area is rotten. If so, handle it with caution.

Observe the color

Jackfruits in the ripe season are generally golden yellow. Jackfruits that are not fully ripe may have a little greenish hue. Greenish hue is the original color of jackfruits.

However, this does not mean that you cannot buy jackfruits that are not golden in color. You can also buy green jackfruits, but they must be mature in size.

After buying it, leave it for three or two days and it will slowly mature and turn yellow.
