JACKFRUIT
JACKFRUIT is a species of tree in the mulberry family, its native to the southern and southeast parts of Asia. It has one of the largest fruits that grow from it with some weighing up to 36kg.
JACKFRUIT is the national fruit of Bangladesh.
It can be eaten just as is when very ripe and is then sweet. When it is still green it is used for curries and more savory dishes.
JACKFRUIT has huge seeds inside, we bought one the other day and when cut it open to find the size of the seeds were about the size of acorns. We played around with them, we boiled them then layed them in the sun to dry out peeled them and ate them and they are like peanuts ADDICTIVE…I then had a dinner party and wanted to try something different so I cooked them in cream and garlic, seasoned well and then blended to form a puree, it was delicious. I served it with honeyed pork, butternut fondant and wilted greens.
