After I cut up this jackfruit and ate all the sweet, juicy flesh (so good! 😋), I saved the seeds and turned them into one of the Auspicious Thai Desserts—Med Khanun (เม็ดขนุน), which means “jackfruit seed.”

It’s a traditional Thai lucky dessert that stands for support and help in life and career.

The taste? It’s rich, smooth, sweet, and a little sticky—probably something like a mix between marzipan and gulab jamun.

Jackfruit seeds are naturally starchy. Sometimes I just boil them with a bit of salt and snack on them like that. But this time, I wanted to make something special.

These days, most people use mung beans instead of real jackfruit seeds because it’s easier and gives more yield.

But I grew up in a family that really valued not wasting food, so I try to make the most of everything I’ve got. It feels good to make something meaningful from start to finish. 😊
