That gummy substance the article mentions is definitely a bit of a problem, though, even when eating the ripe jackfruit. It gets onto your hands and takes some time and work to wash off.

BTW, the seeds of the jackfruit are also eaten, and are supposed to be nutritious, IIRC (part of that wonder plant stuff). Got a nutty taste. It's added to some curries in Indian cuisine, both North and South, I think. Had it a few times.

Yes, one of my favorite dishes is an item called kootu ([0] but it's just a recipe I picked off Google).

My mom and other elders warn me to eat small helpings because it can screw with digestion, but I'm not sure if that's true.

Jackfruit is a brilliant creation of nature
