*Tip
To remove fruit from a fresh jackfruit, coat a large knife blade with oil and line a cutting board with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using gloved hands, cut jackfruit crosswise into 2-inch slices; cut slices in half. Run a paring knife along core to separate it from the fruit pods. Pull out pods and remove the white fibers and tips. Cut pods in half lengthwise; remove the seeds and their rubbery skins. Coarsely chop 2 cups of the jackfruit pieces. Reserve remaining jackfruit for another use.Nutrition analysis for fresh jackfruit: 229 calories, 4 g protein, 37 g carbohydrate, 8 g total fat (1 g sat. fat), 0 mg cholesterol, 3 g fiber, 18 g total sugar, 52% Vitamin A, 33% Vitamin C, 150 mg sodium, 7% calcium, 11% iron
