In Indonesia and Malaysia, jackfruit is called nangka.
The ripe fruit is usually sold separately and consumed on its own, or sliced and mixed with shaved ice as a sweet concoction dessert such as es campur and es teler.
The ripe fruit might be dried and fried as kripik nangka, or jackfruit cracker.
The seeds are boiled and consumed with salt, as they contain edible starchy content; this is called beton.
Young (unripe) jackfruit is made into curry called gulai nangka or stewed called gudeg.

In the Philippines, jackfruit is called langka in Filipino and nangkà in Cebuano.
The unripe fruit is usually cooked in coconut milk and eaten with rice; this is called ginataang langka.
The ripe fruit is often an ingredient in local desserts such as halo-halo and the Filipino turon.
The ripe fruit, besides also being eaten raw as it is, is also preserved by storing in syrup or by drying.
The seeds are also boiled before being eaten.

Thailand is a major producer of jackfruit, which are often cut, prepared, and canned in a sugary syrup (or frozen in bags or boxes without syrup) and exported overseas, frequently to North America and Europe.

In Vietnam, jackfruit is used to make jackfruit chè, a sweet dessert soup, similar to the Chinese derivative bubur cha cha.
The Vietnamese also use jackfruit purée as part of pastry fillings or as a topping on xôi ngọt (a sweet version of sticky rice portions).

Jackfruits are found primarily in the eastern part of Taiwan.
The fresh fruit can be eaten directly or preserved as dried fruit, candied fruit, or jam.
It is also stir-fried or stewed with other vegetables and meat.
