Jackfruit Curry

Jackfruit Curry is a quick and simple way to eat this delicious fruit. Jackfruit is very popular in India, particularly in Kerala, and both the ripe as well as unripe fruit are used. In the US, this exotic fruit is grown in Florida.

Jackfruit is available in Indian grocery stores. When peeling fresh jackfruit, oil your hands, as the fruit is very sticky.

Jackfruit contains many vitamins and minerals. It is supposed to be good for indigestion and ulcers.
