Mind-blowing Health Benefits Of Jackfruit
What is jackfruit?
Jackfruit is believed to have originated in the Western Ghats of India. Today, it is cultivated mostly in tropical locations throughout Southeast Asia and in parts of Africa and Brazil.
A jackfruit tree can grow to be between 30 and 70 feet. Its fruit is the largest fruit to come from a tree: it can grow up to three feet long and 20 inches wide and weigh as much as 110 pounds (typically they weigh between 10 and 60 pounds).
The jackfruit’s presence in the United States is limited. In the late 1880s, some jackfruit trees were planted in South Florida, but only a few trees have survived over the years, and the fruit is not sold commercially.
The exterior of the jackfruit consists of several hard, cone-like points that are yellow or green. The inside contains many large “bulbs of yellow, banana-flavored flesh” surrounded by layers of “pink, tough, undeveloped perianths and a central, pithy core.”
