Jackfruit (Yaca)
Artocarpus heterophyllus commonly known as Jackfruit or Jaca originates in Southern India and the Malaysian rainforest. Jackfruit is the largest tree bearing fruit in the whole world, this fruit can weight up to 100 pounds. The large oblong fruits have hard, rubber like shell that turn from green to yellow and at peak ripeness to yellowish-brown. The inside consists of multiple sections that are divided with yellow/orange thick pods. Each section of pods has large edible seeds, once cooked. The flavor can be described as a tropical explosion of mango, banana and pineapple. Its texture is fibrous, juicy and sometimes crunchy. There are many varieties we source in South Florida and each variety has its own unique color, texture, and flavors!
