The smell of a whole jackfruit will usually indicate its ripeness: The stronger the smell, the riper the fruit. Due to the fruit's size, many stores offer precut jackfruit as well. Whether raw or ripe, make sure to avoid fruit with black or dark spots.

Description
Jackfruit is a large, prickly fruit that grows on a tropical tree. It grows in tropical Asian regions and is most common in Asian cuisines. It is oblong, green, and looks somewhat like durian, though jackfruit can be even larger. It has a texture very similar to chicken or pulled pork, which makes it an excellent "vegetarian meat". The fruit is popular in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, among other Southeast Asian countries, and is considered the national fruit of Bangladesh. There are many varieties of jackfruit. They range from small 2-pound fruits to the largest 40- to 80-pound cultivars. It is very easy to prepare jackfruit pulp at home. Pressure cook the jackfruit pieces with 1 cup of water, for about 6-8 whistles or until soft. Then cool down the cooked jackfruit and puree it in a mixer. Heat it in a heavy bottomed pan. Then transfer the jackfruit pulp to the pan/uruli and let the water disappear. Once the extra water leaves the pulp, it is ready to be used.
