The pulp is edible, but the rough skin on the outside and the fiber in the middle are not.

Pulp: The pulp is thick and juicy, with a sweet taste and rich aroma. It is a nutritious fruit. Jackfruit is rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, calcium, iron, etc., which has a very good health care effect on human health. It can promote gastrointestinal motility, enhance digestive function, and can also assist in anti-inflammatory and enhance immunity.

The outer rough skin, middle fiber and seeds: The outer rough skin and middle fiber of jackfruit cannot be eaten. The middle fiber is a fibrous substance next to the jackfruit pulp, which is usually called jackfruit shreds. This thread-like substance is actually the connecting fibers between the immature seed tissue and the pulp, sometimes called the midrib. The fibrous middle part of jackfruit contains a small amount of scaly hairs, which may irritate the oral mucosa. The brown skin and the fiber in the middle are hard and rough, and can easily get stuck in the teeth, making it difficult to chew and digest. Although jackfruit shreds have no obvious harm to the body, they can easily cause discomfort after eating. So not suitable for eating.
