Indu Sri Green Jackfruit 565g
Product Description
Jackfruit is one of the least known superfoods. It means many things to many people. Like the five blind people who explored the elephant, jack fruit means five different things depending on where you grew up in India. It can be a fruit, nut, vegetable vegan meat or a carbohydrate. Raw jackfruit is the thick flesh around the seed just 2 to 4 days before it turns sweet. Like raw mango, it is creamy white in colour, neutral in taste and doesn’t have any aroma of the ripe fruit.

Applications
The greenish unripe fruit is cooked as a vegetable. Most people from the South love it as a fruit and its seed as a protein rich nut. In the North, tender jackfruit or kathal is a gourmet vegetable and in Bengal, it’s gacch-patha (tree mutton). In Kerala, it’s primarily a healthy carbohydrate and every other use comes after. Chakka, the raw jackfruit, is consumed as a whole meal, an alternate to rice and roti, along with a protein curry like fish or chickpea.
