How to Eat a 20 Pound Jackfruit and other Jack Fruit Information

[superdonkeyballs]

Pho 79 has a jack fruit shake that's really good.

I was at the Hawaii market and they cut one open and cellophaned it. OMG... I stood there for 10 minutes sniffing the fruit it smelled so good.

Jackfruit isn't meant to be eaten alone :(

I grew up eating jackfruit. My grandma had a generous tree which would produce 2-3 of these beautiful monsters every 4 months or so. We used a big bolo knife to hack them open.

If you let jackfruit ripen on the tree, your whole garden will be inundated with its unique fragrance. But don't make the mistake of putting too much of the ripe flesh in your fridge without sealing it in a container. The fragrance is so strong it even gets into your frozen chunks of beef over in the freezer section!

jack fruit smells bad real bad dont smell it eat it its good

@Dennyboy190: That would be durian fruit. Jackfruit is a different fruit, and is very fragrant. LOL. Actually, in a way, you are right. Jackfruit is SO very fragrant that it's cloying -- you actually can start hating the smell.

I'm drinking a jackfruit smoothie right now. : ) I actually put some in the dehydrator cause' the one I bought was huge. I'm in Hawaii and would like to plant some of the seeds. So you said just plant it in some soil and it should sprout?

These are a really nice treat. Thanks for introducing me to these. I'll definitely have to buy a whole one soon just for the experience. It looks like an adventure eating one of these things.

"jackfruit carcass" LOL! What an interesting natural creation. Amazing! Really happy to see that made u so happy. :-)

Out of 20 lbs how many pounds r actually edible?

Looks delish. I recently tried durian and really like it. Strong but not unpleasant smell. Mild and surprising taste, I thought. Smell was definitely stronger than flavor. I'll now be on the look out for jackfruit. I love Juicy Fruit gum but never knew where the flavor came from. Thanks, John!
