Matthew Clark Jackfruit A young, unripe jackfruit will be green in color, firm, and will have little to no smell. As the jackfruit ripens, it will start to soften and smell similar to bananas. We can ONLY use a young, unripe jackfruit in this recipe because a ripe one will lose it's stringy texture and will start to sweeten. Rate it Print
