JackFruit

I went to Publix our local grocery store and saw this unusual piece of fruit, called Jackfruit. I looked the fruit up on my iPhone and it sounded delicious. I thought I’d give it a try, the price looked reasonable. When I put it on the scale and did some quick math, I promptly put it back, it was near $38.00, not sure any fruit is worth that price.

The dictionary described the fruit as:

The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), also known as jack tree,[7] is a species of tree in the fig, mulberry, and breadfruit family (Moraceae).[8]Its origin is in the region between the Western Ghats of southern Indiaand the rainforests of Malaysia.

Therefore, it is not a fruit after all but a species of tree. I do love fig but unfortunately is loaded with sugars.
