Here's The Scoop On Jackfruit, A Ginormous Fruit To Feed The World

Here's The Scoop On Jackfruit, A Ginormous Fruit To Feed The World : The Salt : NPR

Some tidbits from the above link:

It is the largest tree fruit in the world, capable of reaching 100 pounds. And it grows on the branches — and the trunks — of trees that can reach 30, 40, 50 feet. (Trunk-growing is a good thing because it reduces the odds of a jackfruit bopping you on the head.)

Jackfruits are also a nutritional bonanza: high in protein, potassium and vitamin B. And, with about 95 calories in about a half a cup, they aren't quite as high-carb or caloric as staples like rice or corn.

Thank you for your valuable post sir!

Small wonder jack fruit is a much loved delicacy in the west also!

I have seen and eater the honey sweet palaa chuLai from cans

before I became sweet blooded

WE don't buy in India since a million flies would have tasted them

before we pay through the nose and buy the stuff.

One of my sisters has the jack fruit tree and it yields many fruits.

She goes about distributing them to all her kin ans kith.

Once one of my son's friend's father presented us whole big jack fruit.

My husband would not allow me even to taste a single chulai.

We just passed on the fruit to a good friend

in whose house we were staying at that time

since we were visiting Vizag - a decade after Mr. V. R took V. R. S.

This MIL deserved it! She being a female herself actually wanted her DIL to abort a female baby.

I feel many such MILs have a fetish about males as in Reverse Oedipus Complex and are obessed with the idea of being surrounded my males.

Such females should be caught and a sex change operation carried out on them letting them become a male and have the organ they seem to prefer so much!

Agreed sir! Even in that case the possibility of renting a house

gets limited to a certain locality, which is not very good!

Girls get married at the wrong side of twenty (if they are lucky)

and the right side of thirty (if they are not).

They delay the babies further.

So by the time the baby is born and grows up into a marriageabe age,

the mother is law can't but be very old.

A sure target or as they say 'a sitting duck'! :tsk:
