Tuesday's Cup: Jumpin' Jackfruit

Close encounter of the sweetest kind


Jackfruit, one of the biggest fruits, offers a unique -- almost offensively -- sweet flavor that is difficult to describe. We have sampled it in halo halo and smoothies. A mature jackfruit has a pungent smell and will give a little when touched. The ripe flesh is slimy and appears yellow. Check out its size next to a husked coconut and an average-sized mango.
