Here, Marian is standing below a
jackfruit tree. Jackfruits will typically reach the size of a
watermelon before they are picked.
|
Once the jackfruit is picked, it is
split using a machete. The center of the fruit is inedible, so it
is cut out and the reaminder is cut into managable pieces.

Finally comes the fun part.
As this video shows, there are four steps to eating jackfruit.
First, you peel one of the stalks away from the rest of the
fruit. Next, you remove the white strip from the side (this is
bitter and actually slightly poisonous!). Then you pop the seed
out from inside the stalk and finally, you pull the stalk off and enjoy!
