WHattt 80 pds!!! imagine harvesting a bunch of them, you'd need an elephant to carry them all !
Something else of note the individual fruit can weigh almost 80 pounds. The largest ones in the picture were probably a foot long.
Yes they're used in a number of wayes. I like the jackfruit chips which is the fruit when dried. Taste is hard to describe I'd say it tastes closest to bland apple when raw. Texture is almost like meat which is different.
very cool, are they edible?
