Look for the right size
Always look for a medium sized kathal of 1 or 1.5 kgs. The size of the Kathal may vary depending on the variety. Always keep in mind that larger fruits may have a more mature flavours and may have a hard texture and dull taste.
Examine the skin
Check the outer skin of the Kathal. It should have a bright green or yellowish-green color. Avoid buying jackfruits with dull or brownish patches, as they may be overripe or of poor quality.
Check the texture
Gently press the skin of the Kathal with your fingertips. It should feel firm but not excessively hard. Avoid buying soft or squishy jackfruits, as they may be overripe or spoiled.
Smell
Always ensure that the Kathal has a fresh and sweet fragrance. Ripe jackfruit should have a mildly sweet aroma. If there is a strong unpleasant smell or a fermented odor, it may indicate that the fruit is overripe or spoiled.
Lift and feel the weight
Lift the Kathal and assess its weight. A good-quality jackfruit should feel heavy for its size. This indicates that it is juicy and contains more edible flesh.
Listen for a hollow sound
Gently tap the Kathal with your knuckles. If it produces a hollow sound, it indicates that it is ripe and ready to be consumed. A dull thud or a dense sound may indicate an unripe fruit.
