- Eat fresh fruits everyday for it has a lot of vitamins which are very good for your health. Eating at least one or two small bowls of fruits everyday help your diet without being hungry. It is also good for your skin.
- Eating an apple a day or any kind of fruit is much more better than eating hamburger. As what I have read somewhere: " An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
- You can cook the seeds of the ripe Jackfruit until it is done. It is good as a snack.
- There are different kinds of mangoes but the best is the yellow and oblong form of a mango. Well, for my own taste. It is the Asian mango.

Sounds totally delicious, I'll give a try. However I've never heard of Jackfruit, so I'll have a look around for it.
I don't crave fruit the way I crave most other food groups, but your salad looks delicious! I do love mango and am always looking for new ways to enjoy it. Thanks for the recipe and helpful cooking resources!
Hi Thelma, I would love to make this delicous looking fruit salad, I have never heard of jackfruit so I am not sure if I can get it in the UK.

@Adriangel: I know you miss it. Just make the fruit salad with the fruits that you have in your place. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you writer20 for your comment. Yes, it is delicious and healthy as well. Jackfruit is not only a fruit but also a vegetable. We cook the unripe jackfruit for our dinner with coconut milk and the ripe one is for the fruit salad. You can eat the ripe one as it is. Thanks again.

Hello Movie Master! Thanks for your stopping by and giving a wonderful comment. Yes, you can try it. There is sometimes ripe sliced Jackfruit in an Asian Supermarket in UK. But usually it is in a can or in a glass. If you can not find it, just use any fruit that you like. Have a lovely weekend.
