FREE: Jackfruit Seeds - Super Sweet and Orange Flesh - 2

The listing, Jackfruit Seeds - Super Sweet and Orange Flesh - 2 has ended.

Jackfruit is the largest known treeborne fruit. Even a small jackfruit weighs in at 10-15lbs, and farmers have recorded specimens of more than 100lbs. It can provide so many nutrients and calories. If you just eat 10 or 12 bulbs of this fruit, you don't need food for another half a day.

Enormous and prickly on the outside, jackfruit looks somewhat like durian (though jackfruit is usually even larger). Once a jackfruit is cracked open, what you will find inside are pods or "bulbs". Often referred to as the seeds, these bulbs are actually a kind of fleshy covering for the true seeds or pits, which are round and dark like chesnuts. The fleshy part (the "bulb") can be eaten as is, or cut up and cooked. When unripe (green), it is remarkably similar in texture to chicken, making jackfruit an excellent vegetarian substitute for meat. In fact, canned jackfruit (in brine) is sometimes referred to as "vegetable meat".

The bulbs may then be enjoyed raw or cooked (with coconut milk or otherwise); or made into ice cream, chutney, jam, jelly, paste, "leather" or papad, or canned in syrup made with sugar or honey with citric acid added. The crisp types of jackfruit are preferred for canning. The canned product is more attractive than the fresh pulp and is sometimes called "vegetable meat". The ripe bulbs are mechanically pulped to make jackfruit nectar or reduced to concentrate or powder.
