Which of these two fruits you like to eat? I would prefer the jack fruit. It’s my favorite. I love the smell, sweet and juicy taste. To cover is not as fuzzy or sharp as durian. I like Durian but I have to hold my breath when eating it because of the foul odor.

It can be eaten unripe (young) when cooked, or ripe uncooked. The seeds may be boiled or baked like beans. The leaves are used as a wrapping for steamed
Origin:
The jackfruit is believed indigenous to the rain forests of the Western Ghats of India. It spread early on to other parts of India, southeast Asia, the East Indies and ultimately the Philippines. It is often planted in central and eastern Africa and is fairly popular in Brazil and Surinam.

Durian is widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the “king of fruits”, the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species. The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness and the seeds can also be eaten when cooked.

The unusual flavour and odour of the fruit have prompted many people to express diverse and passionate views ranging from deep appreciation to intense disgust.

Durian is a distinctive Asian fruit. The tree reaches a height of 40 meters. Its bark is red-brown and peels off regularly. The trunk is buttressed. Its leaves are oval or lance-head-shaped and arranged alternately. The upper surface is smooth and glossy. The lower part is covered with scales and hairs. The flowers are whitish and greenish white. The fruit is green to brownish in color, shaped like a globe or egg.

One of the many fruits that I so miss of eating and it’s only in the Philippines. Well, there are some of this kind of fruits in other places in Asia though. I was jealous when I saw this picture in my sister FB. They went to my Grand mothers farm and picked some few vegies and fruits.

Jackfruit is commonly used in South and Southeast Asian cuisines. Outside of its countries of origin, fresh jackfruit can be found at Asian food markets especially in Philippines. It can be eaten unripe (young) when cooked, or ripe uncooked. The seeds may be boiled or baked like beans. The leaves are used as a wrapping for steamed idlis.

I saw the latest photos that my sisters back hope uploaded at their FB and got jealous with fruits they are eating. They had Durian and it looks good. Durian has nasty smell that is why some people don’t like eating it. I first tried Durian when I was teaching in the mountain school and oh boy I love it. The smell of it won’t go away but the taste is delightful. Anyhow, when i look at their pictures they seems like having so much fun fiesting to big piece of Durian. The way the gobble it, looks like they don’t mind the smell at all. I grabbed the pictures from FB so i can share them to those who love Durian and miss eating it like i do.
