It crossed my mind suddenly. If jackfruit seed can be eaten boiled, then maybe, it could also be eaten broiled and fried.

I only tried the fried version due to limited seed availability.

Here are the steps…

1) Gather jackfruit seeds.

2) Wear rubber gloves. Hold the seed. Prick and pry off the slimy transparent covering. Then scrape off the thin brown layer under running water.

Rubber gloves are necessary to hold the very slippery seed and avoid accidental skin cut. Seed skin is easy to remove when the embryo began to grow. Most seeds are capable of growing while still inside the fruit.

3) Jackfruit seed is a dicot. Separate the smaller and bigger part. Cut the larger to smaller pieces to facilitate faster cooking time. Leave the smaller part as is.

4) Fry in oil over low flame for ten minutes or until slightly golden brown.

5) Optional. Sprinkle flavor of choice.

Trust me! It is an excellent snack. Looks like a shorter version of potato fries. The outside and inner texture is similar to cassava fries.
