How to Cook Jackfruit Seeds

Cooking Steps

1. 1

   Boiling
   In a large pot, cover Jackfruit seeds with water with about an inch of water above the seeds. Bring the water and seeds to a boil, then reduce to rolling simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the seeds can be easily pierced by a fork. Drain pot and spread the seeds out on a baking sheet to cool and dry. Peel off the outer, white layer. (The thin, brown layer is edible.)

2. 2

   Oven Roasting
   Preheat oven to 400F.  Spread the Jackfruit seeds on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil (for easy clean up). Bake 20 minutes, or until the seeds can be easily pierced by a fork. Let cool. Once cool enough to touch, peel off the outer, white layer. (The thin, brown layer is edible.)

3. 3

   Pan Roasting
   Add Jackfruit seeds to a dry, cast iron skillet. Roast the seeds over medium-high heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until the skin is blistered and cracked or until the seeds can be easily pierced by a fork. Let cool. Once cool enough to touch, peel off the outer, white layer. (The thin, brown layer is edible.)
