  • Jackfruit are as delicious as they are huge! I been staying away from this fruit because it has a very strong smell while it's ripening. When ripe it's got a sweet fruity smell and the fruit on the inside is amazing. Here's how to cut one open and eat the fruit.

    The seeds are edible too , peel their skin and boil them . The seeds taste like nutty potato with crunchy texture.
    You can make great curries with them

    Okay Tom and Nohe, first things first! Preparation: A little cooking oil (deterent for the latex that is present); gloves for both hands; long very sharp knife. Remove the pods and then remove the strings from the pods Eat and enjoy! I can eat only about 1/4 of the fruit at a time! It’s a magnificent fruit! In many eastern and southern Asian countries it is cooked when green as a curry dish and is considered a meat substitute! Also, the seeds are also edible. Can be boiled or curried and eaten! Lots of people like it but I don’t.
    PS: It’s one of Paul’s favorite fruits. He has several trees and varieties in his backyard!

    If I could have only one fruit on a deserted Island, I'd have to say Bananas. That is, if I wanted to survive. Nutritionally, it has the most calories and is the most useful fruit there as far as being actual life sustaining food. It also can be used as potatoes in starch form. If I wanted to die and not Survive, and just enjoy my last few days, I'd pick one of the other fruits on the table.

    Hopefully you saved some of those seeds. The likelihood of you getting the same jackfruit you ate are excellent! And guess what... you can get them after 2 years from a seedling! I have 7 trees in my property already and 3 are producing. I already harvested a 32 lb fruit once.

    Seeds are pure starch, you can eat them boiled like potatoes or cassava/tapioca. The flesh is also eaten prior to ripening as a substitute for meat, cooked as Adobo. Seeds soaked for a few days then germinated, or just planted, will produce a tree that can bear fruit in as early as 18 months, as long as you are in a no freeze zone 9b or higher. They can be grown between two large trees, crowded. And do fine.

      @@SleepyLizard sorry? Your question confused me. Are you asking what we grow here? Ahhh...lots of root vegetables, peas and carrots, turnip, potatoes. Some people grow peppers and tomatoes in green houses or protect them from frosts...we get frosts and sometimes snow unto early June. My landlord has a couple cherry trees and plum trees and an apple tree, but you don't see that many houses back where I grew up on the southern shore of Newfoundland. Sunners are hotter here in Central Newfoundland, and the soil is better...
      Back home the glaciers had eroded a lot of the soil...on the highway you can see big rocks called erratics dotting the bogs and Barrens. A person can cut down a tree and lug it by themselves. Trees grow very slowly on the Barrens and can be stunted.
      Every year I go picking berries. Blueberries, partridgeberries (lingonberry) and bakeapples (cloud berry) grows very well here in the wild.
      I hope this answers your question.

      No, shipping is the same. the price of mangos is very high this year. Extremely light crop. My price went from $40 to $60 which is a 50% increase not double. That said I'm still cheaper this year than what other online sellers charged last year.
