Tips
1: To wash the jackfruit, use a brush to wash food and add coconut soap, don't forget to rinse well
2: Apply a lot of oil to your hand and knife before cutting the jackfruit so that it doesn't stick, as the jackfruit releases a type of milk, a very sticky glue
3: The pressure cooker process must be repeated until all the jackfruit is cooked. It is important to remember that the ideal is to cover a maximum of half of the pressure cooker
4: If the jackfruit is getting too soft, reduce the cooking time in the next batches
5: You can reuse the seeds in salads or farofas, if you like
