A real giant - this is the epithet that I want to say about jackfruit - the largest fruit growing on a tree. His weight is truly royal - he can reach 35 kilograms! It should be noted that jackfruit is the closest relative of breadfruit, but not as popular as its cousin.
The fruits of the jackfruit are large and oblong, the rind is thick, covered with a large number of thorns. However, the taste of the fruit is worth getting to the pulp. By the way, it has a yellow color and is already divided into slices, each of which has a seed. The number of seeds can also be amazing: one fruit can contain up to 500 seeds. Imagine what kind of forest it will turn out if all the seeds are planted and they will sprout!
Jackfruit, like most tropical fruits, is literally packed with vitamins and minerals. Folic acid, vitamins A and C, beta-carotene, phosphorus, calcium, potassium and magnesium are all about him, about jackfruit.
There are many places where this pot-bellied giant grows. In India, Southeast Asia, the Philippines. And in every corner of the world, its pulp is used in cooking in completely different ways. If you decide to try this royal fruit, then choosing a recipe will not be difficult for you. Jackfruit pulp is combined with ice cream, milk, coconut milk, all kinds of other fruits and even vegetables. If you want to experiment, add the pulp of the jackfruit to the vinaigrette. A whole range of new unforgettable sensations of taste are guaranteed to you.
Finally, we add that jackfruit participates in a truly waste-free production! From the tree, which Thais believe brings good luck, they build houses and produce furniture, the leaves are used as compresses, the pulp is eaten, and the dense thorny rind of the fruit is used in the household. Why waste good, right?
