Jackfruit

Jackfruit is a large tropical fruit known for its distinctive spiky exterior and sweet, fibrous flesh. It can weigh up to 80 pounds and is the largest tree fruit in the world. The weight of the fruit you will receive will range from 10-20 pounds.

Nutrition- Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, jackfruit is versatile and popular in both traditional and modern cuisines. 

Serving suggestion- When ripe, its flesh is sweet and can be eaten raw, while unripe jackfruit is often used as a meat substitute in savory dishes due to its texture.

Ripeness Guide- To tell if a jackfruit is ripe, look for a yellowish or light brown skin, as ripe jackfruit typically changes from green to this color. It should emit a sweet, fruity aroma, indicating its readiness. Gently press the skin; it should yield slightly, while a hard texture suggests it’s still unripe. Additionally, the thorns on the skin should feel soft rather than sharp. A ripe jackfruit will also feel heavy for its size, signaling that it’s full of juicy flesh. When you notice these signs, the jackfruit is ready to enjoy!
