Jackfruit in Thailand..!!
'Jackfruit' in Thai language : ขนุน [kha-noon] This is got to be one of the most amazing fruits i have ever seen the size, texture and taste of this huge fruit is absolutely mind blowing. I was at my girlfriends farm when i actually saw this fruit for the first time on the tree had seen the fruit in the markets but to see it growing hanging out of the tree trunk was odd.
The jackfruit is the largest tree-born fruit in the world. One of these fruits can reach a length of nearly a meter and weigh close to 40 kilograms.
The outer skin of this fruit i noticed is very thick and covered with stubby pyramidal bumps. Sometimes this fruit is mistaken as a Durain but actually the Durain fruit has sharper pyramidal bumps and is more of a dull green color almost grey in color.
The skin is light green in color and changes to a yellow color letting you know the fruit is ripe and ready to eat.
The outer skin of this Jackfruit acts like a large sack which holds as many as 500 seeds which are quite big seeds but it's the juicy membrane that surrounds the seed that is the edible part. I had never really eaten this fruit back home but here in Thailand i have adapted quite a taste for this fruit. It has a completely unique taste something like the flavor of a pineapple and banana mix together sweet and crunchy goes well with fruit salads also.
When in season you will find many vendors in Thailand with their fruit carts selling Jackfruit pieces already cleaned up minus the huge black seed normally you can buy about half dozen pieces which will cost you around 35 U.S. cents.
Got to say writing this article has made my mouth watery in need of some Jackfruit now going down to my local vendor to buy some and be sure you guys try this amazing tasty fruit you will not be disappointed. What you waiting for....!!
