Langka (Jackfruit)

Last summer I  went to H-Mart at Bayside, Queens and found a mountain of jackfruits sold by the pound. Each fruit was bigger (and heavier) than my torso, I'd have to spend close to $35 to take  home a whole piece, so I opted for the sliced  pieces, just to get my portion of  nostalgia down memory lane (of eating sweet tasting and sweet smelling jackfruit). Boy was I surprised! I did not expect this piece to be so sweet...as sweet as the jackfruit I've eaten  in the Philippines.

The sweetest jackfruit I've eaten in America.  So pleasantly surprised!

Smells as sweet as it tastes!!!

Even these strips tasted so sweet, I could not throw them away. I had to eat them too!

The seeds were boiled, and they tasted like chestnuts.
