Had my first jackfruit today!!! Loved it! Bought from a farmer in Thailand. He cut it up for us. Now I know how to do it myself. Thanks for great video!!!.
The taste of different fruits in only one bite from this jackfruit was AMAZING!!
So many memories of India when I watched this video. I grew up eating this everyday. Thank you for the nice video!
Your video is what made me try jackfruit. I bought one about 4 years ago and I loved it. Put all that I couldn't eat which was a lot, into Tupperware and it lasted about a week, shared it at work with everyone. They had never heard of it.I loved it.
I thought I disliked jackfruit until I tried it again in the tropics. I realized fresh jackfruit tastes nothing like canned jackfruit. Wow, what a huge difference!!! Jackfruit convert right here!
Thank you, for the information. My next door neighbor has a jackfruit and we never knew what it was. Thanks again John! Keep up the good work.
Thanks John for the tips... I am about to open mine for the first time.
I have never heard of jackfruit but I happened across this video - OMG!!!! I went to the Asian market here in Colorado Springs and followed your directions on how to tell if it is ripe - it was PERFECT! Thank you for introducing a new fruit to me!
So awesome, thanks god for creating all these magnificent fruits and trees.
Jackfruit is a wonderful treat! We're enjoying some right now!
Great video John, very informative. Thanks
Thanks John, great presentation!
I always see this in the market, but this is the first time that I've seen how to consume it. Thanks
I thought this was a fake fruit, grown only on Farmville! I'm enjoying all this new information! Thanks you!
dude all these fruits look so awesome!
Nicely done. I have seen jackfruit at the flea market in St. Petersburg, Florida but had no idea how to eat it.
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.
For some reason this was on my home feed I have no idea why but I decided to watch it anyway
bought my first 25lb jackfruit. Thanks for the hot tips. They worked
Awesome video John!
You convinced us and we bought one. Awesome!!!
Finally ate a fresh jackfruit and loved it!
Thanks so much! My kids and I see jackfruit all the time at the fruit stand we go to, and have been wanting to try it. We will definitely be getting one next time! We're going to eat the seeds too. :)
Nice Video ! I love jack fruit. Thanks for sharing.
Ha. I didn't know you had another channel. I've been hooked on your growing your greens one for a while now. Cool. I just subscribed to this too.
Thanks John! I just bought Jack Fruit for the first time. I bought 2 giant ones for only $15 at the Produce Terminal. I'm watching your video to learn how to open and eat it. :D
John your cool with your fruit/agriculture adventures. keep on doing them bro. knarly
I like your videos don't stop
Good job of showing how to eat a jackfruit, Thanks.
thanks jackfruit is awesome just tried it in the can and it was good so I know the fresh ones will be good thanks
I never heard of it before, I gotta try it.
it's interesting to see the whole fruit. in stores by me I only see them cut into slices and quartered.
Good video John
love your videos, Brobro. Do you have a pinterest as well?
Good info.
Thanks
Amazing video man ivwant try this fruit.
I am so jealous, I had this a few years ago in Thailand, first time I ever saw or tried it. Can't seem to find it here, but like you its one of my favorite fruits! It is really something special, love it
I found some at an Indian supermarket in NYC - it cost $2 per pound, so they cut and sell it as 1/2 or 1/4 - it takes work, is somewhat sticky to cut it up but it is delicious, sweet and somewhat unusual taste - its where juicy fruit gum originally got its flavor
I've loved this fruit since i was a kid in jamaica. now i live in japan, but introduced my japanese wife to jackfruit in LA. she hooked.
John, Durianrider opened one up and he just peeled it like a banana it was so ripe, also he said that if it has latex it's not ready. Also, will it continue to ripen on my countertop before I open it? I live in Las Vegas and would like to try a really ripe one for my first jackfruit.
Thank you for sharing the Jackfruit video, it was well done, informative, and bought me good memories of my childhood! Sorry thou I did not like the taste of JF as a child, probably we didn't know how to eat the fruit. Be safe and well in your informative research trips. Best, Dense.
Hello John,
Do you have any ideas where to get jackfruit in Los Angeles Ca.? I've read that there are two known species of jackfruit.
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!
Jack fruit seeds are delicious and energy-giving snacks-my favorite
John what do you think of Soil associations standards. They are meant to be higher than organics??
hi okraw, do you know you can eat the seeds!
boil them, taste like chestnut but i like chest nut better.
Im from jamaica i love it so much
Did you buy that in Vegas? Somehow I had never seen it sold in the East Coast. I want some... that has got to be my best favorite fruit in the world too. Where can I buy a whole one? The canned ones doesn't compare.. .
Thanks for the tips on selecting and eating a jackfruit. We recently tried durian, and jackfruit is next on the list. :)
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?
John, if you buy one you know isn't quite ripe(not yellow) will it ripen on the counter top?
Or will it just get rotten?
Thanks
Thanks okraw. Great video. ;)
Thanks, very helpful!
i saw these yesterday at Hong Kong City mall in Houston, they had like 50 of these things sitting there in the grocery store and it smelled amazing!
Finally, I discover the flavor behind JuicyFruit gum. I have wondered ever since I was a child.
John: is it possible to ripen jackfruit at home? How do you do it? Thanks!
I would love to find an orange jacket, but I don’t know what to look for that would indicate that it is in orange Jackfruit?
All I ever had was dried jack fruit. Loved it dried but John how much fruit can one obtain to eat from a 20 pound jack fruit.???
Thank you!
You can get at Seafood City at 3rd & Vermont in LA. $1.50/lb
ive never even seen one. sounds good.
I can't enough it this incredible fruit!!!
How can you get/buy this fruit fresh in NYC or over the internet?
I also saved all the seeds and planted tons of Jack fruit seeds when I was in Thailand. That was fun. I also boiled the seeds and made a potato like meal out of them. They taste like potatoes
Bought our first Jackfruit last night. We should have watched your video first. My husband got latex all over his hands. :)
very awesome
Thank you
Durian - A very exotic and flavorful fruit. This fruit was found in south eastern Asia, somewhere in Thailand. This fruit is different from the Jack because it has a more bitter taste, hard and moist texture, and has hard to peel, rough and spikey skin.
Jackfruit - A very smooth, lightweight fruit, with a bite similar to a mango. This, too was found in south eastern Asia, but in the western part of India. This fruit is cherished among Indains.The skin is flat, thin and edible
I bought one just the other day, it smells amazing but the taste is meh. Maybe I need to ripen it more? The edible part is yellow, a more bright yellow if that says anything
Nice!!!
Jackfruit is really good. I've never bought fresh jackfuit only the canned ones. Now I'm tempted to one next time I go to the Asian market
Jackfruit!!! Had it yesterday on x-mas :)
thank you
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know where to buy fresh jackfruit in Los Angeles? I've searched for months and couldn't find any :(
i love j-fruit too - and now i am living in a home in Florida that has a jackfruit tree - yumm!!
I planted a jackfruit in my yard here in Mexico a couple years ago. This summer while I was in Canada the tree produced two giant jackfruits and I wasn't here to experience them. Bummer. But right now there is a huge one just begging me to pick it! But I have no idea if it's ripe & ready to be picked yet. That's why I'm here. But after watching this video I still don't know..unless I wait for it to fall off. But then maybe my chickens will eat it! So off I go in search of clues. This video made me hungry for fresh Yucca! (as they call jackfruit here) Thanks for the video. :)
You could always send that Jackfruit to me and I'll let you know if it was fresh or not. : )~ They sound delicious
When it is ripe it will fall off by itself so be patient
When it is ripe you can smell it from like 50m away or more. You do not need to wait for it to fall off the tree... Some varieties are soft and will squash if they are allowed to over-ripe and fall off the tree.
My favorite
Now, seriously, John, how can I get a jackfruit tree? Is there a place where I can buy it? Should I grow it from the seed?
Artocarpus heterophyllus, I love em..use to own three trees of Jackfuits.
I love the fruit!!!!
en autlan jalisco hai esta fruta yackfruit :) mucha mucha de esa fruta
I would describe that rather dry yellow fruit similar to foam like pineapple without the acid, like a hundred different light tropical fruits in one. (maybe that's why its called a Jack fruit... like jack of all fruits er i mean trades) also its similar to how an orange has that white kinda bitter fiber in the middle and in between chunks.
I live in northern Alberta Canada ...and found fresh jackfruit at an Asian market yesterday ...it cost $13 for about 2lbs of flesh...but soo worth it!
I've ate the seeds, they are nice...
I love jackfruit 😍
Nice.
Where in vegas you get the jackfruit?
ODD question.. can you make a digestion diet video on the benefits of jackfruit?. Curious on how it affects your digestive tract etc.. thank you so much. man you make me want a fruit and fast!
WoW. Awesome
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.
omg looks so delicious!
love that fruit !!
Are jack fruits and durians the same thing?
I like the foliage foreground
The fruit...of all fruits!
Those individual orange pods are called ARILS, and they are wonderfully delicious. I boiled some of the seeds and found them edible but not particularly tasty. There must be some way to make them taste good. Durians are similar looking but very different on the inside. The flesh is creamy and really delicious and sweet, but it smells like rotten onions.
I went to Thailand last summer I had, jackfruit, mangosteen, compoot, its the best!
Hey John! Keep on growing those seeds. I believe they bare fruit in only two to three years! Although they do get big, I believe they will produce fruit even when relatively small. So maybe you could grow some yourself after all!
Are they in Costa Rica?
Seems like a lot of work to get the Juicy Fruit gum flavored fruit. If I were to eat jackfruit, I'd get it cut up or frozen like you mentioned. Not in the mood for latex all over my hands and knives.
