FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Can you eat jackfruit seeds raw?
No, jackfruit seeds should not be eaten raw because they contain anti-nutrients like tannins and trypsin inhibitors that can interfere with digestion. Always boil or roast them first.
How long do jackfruit seeds last?
Fresh seeds last about 7-10 days at room temperature if kept dry. In the refrigerator, they can last up to 2 weeks. If boiled and frozen, they can last for several months.
What is the best way to peel jackfruit seeds?
The easiest way is to boil them for 15-20 minutes. Once cooled slightly, the white outer paper-like skin can be easily peeled off by hand.
What do jackfruit seeds taste like?
When cooked, they have a milky, nutty flavor and a texture very similar to chestnuts or firm potatoes.
Are jackfruit seeds good for weight loss?
Yes, they are high in fiber and resistant starch, which helps you feel full for longer and supports a healthy metabolism.
What can I substitute for jackfruit seeds?
Chestnuts are the closest substitute in terms of texture and flavor. Boiled potatoes or lotus seeds (makhana) can also work in certain recipes.
Can jackfruit seeds be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze them. It is best to boil them first, remove the skin, and then freeze them in an airtight bag for up to 6 months.
How do you know if jackfruit seeds have gone bad?
Look for signs of mold, a slimy texture, or a sour/off smell. If the seeds feel soft or mushy before cooking, they should be discarded.
Are jackfruit seeds considered a nut allergen?
Technically they are seeds, not tree nuts. However, individuals with severe nut allergies should consult a doctor, as cross-reactivity is rare but possible.
How are jackfruit seeds used in cooking?
They are commonly used in Indian curries (like sambar), roasted as a snack, mashed into side dishes, or ground into flour for various preparations.
