JACKFRUIT HARVESTED

This is a very big ripe jackfruit that we harvested from our backyard garden is about more than 10 kilos. The fruit is roughly oblong. The color of the ripe fruit is dull yellow. The skin is extremely rough and thick. A ripe fruit has a strong smell even if you're far from the trees you will know because you can smell it. They said that ripe jack fruit smells like rotten onions, some people don't like to smell. Ripe fruit little bit softens the skin when you touch it. That's the time ready to eat.
