I have seen jackfruit here at the fresh market. It is expensive and because I know nothing about it I was nervous to buy it thinking maybe it wasn't good...I have heard it is great to use as it takes on flavors you add....perhaps I'll try, these look so tasty, love the nice spice too ;)
The fresh market? Wow lucky. I know it cost a fortune but it takes so long to grow and there's hardly any flesh in each fruit. I'm sure you could come up with some interesting things with it. I am going to look for more but I got the only can that was in the store around here haha. I'm going to have to go to China town.
I was quite amazed, hey had a whole one and it was huge, like a big water mellon. Kind of scary looking. How long do they take to ripen? I know coconuts take a year which is crazy. They had slices if you wanted but each slice was about $9. Is that normal? I would try it...:)
Even in Mexico we couldn't afford it. There was a tree in the back yard and after three months the fruit looked the same in size.
