Jack Fruit
This is a fruit you learn to love. In the beginning I had a few pieces. Then it just grew on me. Now when we have it I eat a lot of it. It's quite a large fruit. Many large seeds with pulp around it. Next time I will take a picture with an open one. This was taken today at the Sunday mercado. Right now it is in season here in Bahia, Brazil. Here is some information on it.

I thought this was durian...are you sure it's not?
looks similar to durian.
durian outside is a bit spikier.
jack fruit grows in brazil and in asia.
Oh I see! Does it taste good?
i like the taste of the jack fruit better than durian.
Just read your other comments, and my first thought too was, "I hope this isn't another name for stinky durian!" :D
If you promise this will not smell like old socks, I am willing to give it a try.
jack fruit does not have an unpleasant odor.
Jack Fruit's flavor has nothing to do with Durian. It is simply amazing!
I am so glad to be back in Brasil and find 'my' Jack fruit!!! :)
