Our Jackfruit Tree
WOW!! We have a huge and mysterious fruit growing in the back yard, i have discovered it is called a JACKFRUIT TREE. Apparently it is a delicacy in tropical regions and I am looking forward to trying it. My research says it can be eaten as a fruit, when it is very ripe , but also as a vegetable when it is still green!! I love this way of using produce in Asian cooking, especially when you are growing it yourself and there is a sudden glut of fruit. It definatelty makes sense to use it throughout its growing cycle!
