How to cut a Jack Fruit for a quick meal.

Jack Fruit meal. Artocarpus heterophyllus is an evergreen tree (family Moraceae) that is native to tropical Asia and extensively cultivated across the wetland tropics for its enormous fruits and strong wood. It is also known as jackfruit. In addition to being eaten cooked as a vegetable, the brown matured fruit is eaten fresh for the delightfully acidic but insipid pulp around the seeds, which is found in the center of the fruit. The seeds are roasted and consumed by the indigenous population. In Bangladesh and other parts of South and Southeast Asia, jackfruit is considered a staple food crop. In certain parts of the world, canned or processed jackfruit is becoming more popular as a meat alternative.
