jack. fruit.

there was no snow... *sigh*

But today we are going to talk about the Jackfruit:

The Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a species of tree and its fruit, native to southwestern India and Sri Lanka. The fruit is gigantic! , Most of the time at least 25 cm in diameter. The fruits can reach about 70 pounds. The jackfruit is the largest tree borne fruit in the world.

The aroma of the ripening fruit is extremely sweet, with a distinctive flavor reminiscent of bananas and ‘Juicy Fruit’ gum. In fact, when Juicy Fruit first realeased it's product the name was originally going to be Jack Fruit. People generally love or hate the taste. When I was in Kuai last summer our neighbor cut down a jack fruit with a machete and cracked it open. I can attest that jackfruit is quite potent externally and internally and does infact taste like juicy fruit gum, which i hate.





this jack fruit, spent the rest of it's life split in half laying on the grass capturing hungry and curious flys in it's sticky meat.
