A fresh weekend morning at the farm with a friend. We smelled a ripe jackfruit, found it near the ground, opened it, and ate it right there.
Straight from the tree to our digestive systems!
How do you eat jackfruit in your region? Any recipes?

@pacific06 I see those enormous jackfruit in the grocery here and find them intimidating! One of my kids uses the jackfruit, pulled into shreds in savory spices for tacos, she likes it cooked like that.

@cthulku This is really new to me and to everyone in my community. I’m wondering how this happens!
As I said before, we only eat fresh, ripe jackfruit, and we eat the soft inner fruit. It’s really interesting to see that some people eat jackfruit this way.

It's mostly sold canned here as "young green jackfruit", or already processed into over-expensive fake meat. I prefer doing the processing myself, so that I can know what's going into it, and so that it has the exact flavour and texture that I like.
In the can, it's cut into wedges, where the outer fibrous material -- which is usually not eaten when ripe, I think -- is what is most desired. The seeds are there, but they are tender and edible as well, and I usually include them, albeit mashed a bit.
I have had proper, ripe jackfruit once, and it was delicious! Right up there with mangoes for deliciousness, although obviously not tasting that similar.

@pacific06 We fry the seeds and eat with salt

@ditsch42 Yes, they can grow really big!
I have heard about using jackfruit as a vegan chicken substitute. Have you ever tried it that way in Germany even though they are not yet common in German?
@pacific06 @ditsch42
i bought 1/8 #jackfruit at the arabic market to cook danish dish #tarteletter, small crispy pastries filled with a beige sauce with aspargus, peas and — unfortunately — #chicken flesh.for those traditional dishes, jackfruits are an excellent kill-free replacement.
it's good to pre-oil the knife or it'll be tough to clean!
