Feeling satisfied 🙂 Jackfruit has a unique taste. My son who tasted it for the first time compared it to that of a bland mango 🙂 Yeah… in a way I agree with him!

Separate the seeds and the skin of the seeds. Boil them and serve. The seeds become tender and are filled with high nutrients. Tasty to eat 🙂
