Description
Seedless jackfruit, known as kathal in Bengali, is a tropical delicacy with golden, fibrous bulbs that are soft and sweet. Sourced from Bangladesh, India, and Thailand, jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is eaten ripe for dessert or unripe in savory dishes. The ripe version has a rich, fruity aroma and a sweet flavor reminiscent of a mix of banana and pineapple, while its meaty texture makes it a satisfying ingredient in vegetarian cooking.
