Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Jackfruit, popular in Indian, Southeast Asia and parts of South America, are the largest fruits in the world. These green, spiney specimins can weigh up to 80 pounds and be three feet long. The jackfruit exterior is inedible, but its yellowish-orange, seed-filled interior lobes are starchy and sweet. I think the flavor is a bit like sweet potato with a hint of sulfur (better than it sounds). Young jackfruits have a crisp, crunchy texture; more mature jackfruits head towards mushy. Ripe jackfruits are commonly used in desserts; young green jackfruits are popular in curries, salads and stews.
Check out this site for some jackfruit recipes, though be aware that the fruit is hard to find in the U.S. Your best bet is to use canned, available in many Indian markets.
