I saw them in the Kroger produce section today and had never heard of them. Anybody ever eat one?

^^^ I didn't see any of those at Kroger's today. Are they better than Jackfruit? How do you know?

I've had it a few times in SE Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore) but it was many years ago so I can't describe the taste. I remember that it was sweet but quite different from mango and nothing like durian!

I'm not crazy about jackfruit. I think they are pretty flavorless. But they are cool looking on the tree!

Several years ago on a visit to southern China I was gifted several bags of jackfruit chips by friends as a parting gift. I was really worried that US customs would wonder why I had bags of jackfruit chips and a big block of tea in my bags. But it is rude to turn down gifts so I took them and packed them.

But why not try some? Worst thing that is possible is that you find them non-brilliant! And you might like them! :)

^ Why not try these mushrooms, or better yet the hemlock?
