There are spots on the jackfruit that look like insect eggs. What's going on?

1. Infection

If you find some small brown spots on the flesh after opening it, it may be infected with a disease and is in a pathological state due to long-term abnormal weather. It is difficult to tell the difference from the outside, and such fruits should be eliminated. It is edible in this case, but the taste will be much worse. It will not taste delicious and will not have the normal sweetness, so you can ask the merchant for another one. Or you can peel out the flesh and use it to stir-fry, which is also a good way to eat it.

2. Insect eggs

It may also be infected with pests. The brown part inside is insect eggs. In this case, do not eat it. It may be the eggs of the moth, or the excrement left by other insects. To be on the safe side, do not eat it. If you accidentally eat it, don't panic, because insects are mainly composed of protein, which will dissolve in the body.

3. Not peeled cleanly

It may also be because it was not peeled cleanly, resulting in some dirt left on it. If it looks like there are fewer spots, you can remove them before eating.
