Jackfruit,mostly found in South East Asia and finds its origins in India, comes from mulberry family. It has thorny projections outside and soft flesh inside which is intensely delicious in taste.
Thailand and Vietnam are the largest producers and exporters of this fruit.
Jackfruit is found in many varieties across countries and continents and is classified based on the softness of its flesh which is very high in fiber content. The taste and texture make it a great fruit for jams, candies, cakes and other sweet preparations.
It is a healthy fruit with almost no fats but high energy. The taste and preparations make it a delectable fruit that is not too hard to include in the diet.
Unfortunately many countries get only canned jackfruit stored in sugar syrup or brine that is not as healthy as out-of-tree fruit. But this fact should not keep you from eating and enjoying this gorgeous fruit even if it is out of the can.
