Jackfruit is a large fruit that has enjoyed widespread popularity in Asia, where the ripe fruit is commonly used for desserts and custards while unripe jackfruit is used in curries or other savory dishes. Though it is the national fruit of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, it was relatively unknown in western countries until recently.
The recent surge in the popularity of jackfruit worldwide is largely due to the meaty texture of unripe jackfruit, making it a healthy and tasty alternative to animal proteins for vegan diets and vegetarian dishes.

Application and Uses
Ripe jackfruit tastes like a combination of apple, pineapple, mango, and banana and can be used in a variety of desserts, custards, or smoothies. Unripe jackfruit has a neutral flavor and meaty texture, making it a great substitute for meat. Due to its neutral flavor, it does best with bold flavors like curry or BBQ sauce. Jackfruit seeds can also be boiled or roasted and eaten as a healthy snack.
