There are two different varietals of jackfruit: one with firm/crunchy flesh (this is the kind you see canned in stores) and the other with creamy. Durian is like the jackfruit with the creamy flesh (in texture), but durian's fruit is larger. They have a similar mouthfeel (and taste: to me, that is), but the smell puts off a lot of people. Unfortunately you don't get the creamy jackfruit in a lot of places so you have to hunt for it. Luckily my parents have a tree in their back yard....
- nrmn 7y agoCan jackfruit be eaten raw too?
- 2muchcoffeeman 7y agoYes. The seeds can also be saved and cooked. And if you have the young fruit, you could cook it in say a curry like a meat substitute.
- ajudson 7y agoIs the creamy jackfruit the same thing as cempedak?
- vram11 7y agoBased on looking up durian in Wikipedia, and having seen large jackfruits in India, I can say that jackfruit can grow much larger.
