How? I looked it up, it's pretty versatile: unripe it is a meat substitute tasting somewhat like pork, used in curries and such. Ripe it's sweet with a mango/banana/apple flavor
Unripe tastes like poison to me, it's gotta be perfect but yeah it's exactly that awesome tropical combination. Once the pods are out and you take all the skin and seeds off it's good to go. Good to eat straight up or make an otherworldly good smoothie with it. My aunt is from the Philippines and introduced me to it a few years ago.

Interesting plant. The seeds can be roasted then eaten or ground into a semi-chocolate substitute. The wood from tree is a teak-like, prized for furniture and shit. Too bad it won't grow here

edit: where did you buy it?

My aunt actually makes some kind of soup with the seeds with coconut milk it's pretty interesting. She actually took a seed and threw it in soil and suprisingly got a seedling going. But no kidding. But weed was also native to Asia. I'm gonna throw a seed in soil and put it in my veg tent this next round to see what happens. If anything I'll most definitely let you guys know

I was reading that it was transported to Brazil as an ag crop(very successful) and it's spreading out of hand and pushing out native trees and stuff; plus little predators like it and they are increasing threatening bird populations:
Wiki:
Invasive species
In Brazil, the jackfruit can become an invasive species as in Brazil's Tijuca Forest National Park in Rio de Janeiro. The Tijuca is mostly an artificial secondary forest, whose planting began during the mid-19th century; jackfruit trees have been a part of the park's flora since its founding. Recently, the species has expanded excessively, and its fruits, which naturally fall to the ground and open, are eagerly eaten by small mammals, such as the common marmoset and coati. The seeds are dispersed by these animals; this allows the jackfruit to compete for space with native tree species. Additionally, as the marmoset and coati also prey opportunistically on birds' eggs and nestlings, the supply of jackfruit as a ready source of food has allowed them to expand their populations, to the detriment of the local bird populations. Between 2002 and 2007, 55,662 jackfruit saplings were destroyed in the Tijuca Forest area in a deliberate culling effort by the park's management.[34]

Any of you guys try a jackfruit? Smells like fruity slinky weed and tastes like starburst candy. I don't know if you can tell size in this picture but that's about half my backseat it's taking up. Ridiculously hard to cut open and get the actual pods out.View attachment 4100002
My wife tries to substitute that shit for meat in vegan dishes.
Yeah, no. :spew:

I did not know that. That's an interesting read

I’m really glad I tuned in for the fantastic Jack fruit education. I have never seen one but now need to try it.

Did someone know where to get them?
Did not see your edit @Singlemalt there's a little asian market here where I get it. Pretty much any asian market will have it. I've seen it at a whole foods one time but it's like $30 just to hold stuff there. When you're picking one out give it a few knocks and it should sound hollow and you should be able to smell it when you put your nose up to it. If it's still pretty green throw it in a dark cabinet. When your kitchen starts to stink of fruit it's ready :blsmoke:

Thanks. I realize now I did read the Asian market comment. I have to drive an hour and half to the city now. I forgot about Asian markets living out here in the country. My mom had a great one in New Jersey.

We have a little one just a few miles away, there's a few up in Denver but ours is the only one I found that consistently has both jackfruit and fresh roast duck. I'm talking an entire roast duck. You get the head too lol

Funny you mentioned the duck. I used to frequent china town in Philly when I was younger and got those delicious things all the time.

I'm about to get after a delicious taco truck burrito.....extra sour cream and cheese..... Upside to deliveries.


Passing all the good food spots:mrgreen:


Delivering pizzas of course. I don't like pizza.

I am way. Way off base here. But I thought you were delivering weed. Lol.

And my favorite taco truck parked in Leadville CO every weekday afternoon when I lived there. Just awesome “fajitas” which honestly were more like layered burritos. But delicious.
