Do you like Jack Fruit. It is very tasty and natural to all type of people. There are two kinds of Jack fruits. One is more juicy and water content is more in it. The other one is not juicy but very tasty. Majority of the people prefers the second one . In our language the first one calls koozha, and latter one calls Varikka. In past there is no market for Jack fruits. But now a variety of products can make from this king of fruit. Jack fruit cut before ripe to make a lot of dishes. Do you ever eat a jack fruit

I love jack fruit both ripe and unripe cooked in coconut milk and eaten as vegetable, we even boil the seed of the ripe ones and eat it like nuts with a pinch of salt . There are quite a few though who do not like the smell of ripe jack fruit.

Exactly. We also used its seeds for various curries. We used scratches coconut mixture and chilly with raw jack fruit after it boiled.

If you had a chance to visit south India there is plenty of chance to see the jack fruit trees. When we cut the jack fruit a white sticky gum comes from its cutting parts

@shshiju I'm not too sure about that. I rather purchase it or eat it at a restaurant.

Hey there. I love jack fruit but unfortunately where I live, we don't get this fruit often. It rarely comes in the market in raw form and whenever we get a chance we make stew with it.

That is great that people have found use for it now in some dishes. That is so much better then it just growing and going to waste. I have never heard of this fruit before so I have not eaten it either.

There is a joke in our village. One person says he ate only a fruit as breakfast. His friend asks him which one? He replied the Jack Fruit.

I've never had a jack fruit - not that I know of anyway. I'm not sure if they are sold here. Can you just eat them raw?

When ripe it becoming yello color. In raw it can use for various dish preparation. Plenty of nuts also used for curries. Jack fruit weighs average 7 to 8 kilos or more, so it may be the largest fruit in the world.

O Lol. I think you ate it mixed with other things. We ate it itself and When we eat it it is right that we have the smell of jack fruit and others soon recognize it. That is not means that it is a bad smell. we take our coconut oil in hands and face then wash with soap. Then there is no smell.
