Note:
While chopping the Jack Fruit Seeds, ensure that the Seeds are dry. Else the knife may slip and injure the fingers.
Cut each Seed vertically, not horizontally. It helps to peel the skin easily.
Since the seeds are smooth, the knife may slip. Microwave the Seeds for 30 seconds just before chopping so that you can cut them easily.
