The Bogor Jackfruit is famous for its delicacy, sweet, crunchy and tasty with enough fiber and not tough. It is not surprising that Bogor area is very famous for the best Jackfruits found on Java even in Indonesia. The flavor is comparable to a combination of pineapple, mango and banana or whatever you would say about it. For this fruit lovers, Bogor district is also described as a very special place for hunting the most delicious jackfruit. In the city, the ripe Jackfruits vendors can be found easily every where along the street side. It is usually sold in peeled fruit or partially sliced.

The flesh of the ripe Jackfuits are either eaten straight or mix with other fruits as fruits salad, or flavoring ice cream or other refreshing drink and pastries. Young jackfruit is more fast sell in the market since it is more consumed by most people. It is commonly cooked with coconut milk as gudeg and in many cultures, young jackfruit is boiled and used in various recipes of curries which is usually served with plain rice.
Nangka dari Bogor terkenal dengan kelezatannya, manis, renyah dan legit dengan serat yang cukup dan tidak alot. Tidak mengherankan bahwa daerah Bogor sangat terkenal akan buah nangka-nya yang terbaik yang ditemukan di Jawa bahkan di Indonesia. Rasanya sebanding dengan kombinasi rasa dari nanas, mangga dan pisang atau apa pun yang Anda akan ungkapkan tentang hal itu. Bagi pecinta buah ini, Kabupaten Bogor juga digambarkan sebagai tempat yang sangat khusus untuk berburu nangka yang paling lezat. Di kota (Bogor), penjual nangka yang sudah matang dapat ditemukan dengan mudah di setiap tempat sepanjang sisi jalanan. Buah ini biasanya dijual sebagai buah yang sudah dikupas atau sebagian diiris.
Daging buah nangka yang matang dapat dimakan langsung atau dicampur dengan buah-buahan lain seperti salad buah-buahan, atau penyedap es krim atau minuman menyegarkan dan kue-kue. Nangka muda lebih cepat jual di pasar karena lebih dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat lebih banyak. pada umumnya buah nagka muda dimasak dengan santan sebagai gudeg dan dalam banyak kebudayaan, nangka direbus dan digunakan dalam berbagai resep kari yang biasanya disajikan dengan nasi.

Looks interesting and has piqued my curiosity – would this fruit be available here in the U.S.?

I am not sure if the fresh ripe fruits is available in the US but the canned one. Canned fruits or frozen Jackfruits are imported from South East Asia (India or Ceylon?) or maybe from South America. The taste are not as delicious as fresh one. Some article mentioned that in the middle of the 19th century it had ever been cultivated in Miami and Southern Florida than disappeared from seen after the second World War. I would let you know if I found any reference where to find it in the US.

Lovely Post, Mr Muhammad. Congrats. All pix are just extraordinary. But Number One goes to the Vendor peeling bulbs!
Thank you for the post – from country of origin of Nangka. In a few areas of our country, a movement to popularise jackfruit is on. Have you heard of Jackfruit Festivals? In Kerala & Karnataka, since last 5 years, about 50 ‘Jack Fest’s are conducted. Lot of experimentation is going on. Very sad part is lions-share of this wonderful fruit produced goes waste sans utilisation.
I feel, we have lot to learn from each other. A neywork between all hack-lovers of Jackfruit Growing countries has to be started. I am editor of a farm magazine, ‘Adike Patrike’. We have brought 11 Jackfruit Special Issues in last 5 years. Plus dozens of positive stories from not only our country, but from Srilanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines etc. Unfortunately, we don’t know much about the Jackfruit scenario in Indonesia, Cambodia, Bangladesh etc.
We are very keen to interact / exchange Jackfruit related information with Jackfruit lovers, Scientists & Jack farmers all over the country. My contact : espadre@gmail.com
Thanking You So Much

Thank you very much for visiting my blog and this is a lovely conversation start for me about the fruits. I have heard about the Jackfruit festival in India from an Indian friend 2 years ago. He told me it is a very interesting event. I understand that we have many kinds of Jackfruit’s tastes, the shape and sizes and it will be of interest for the Jackfuits lovers. I herewith give you a link to an agriculture magazine which you could probably obtain further information on the development of the cultivation in Indonesia and the lovers. The publication of this magazine also provide on line at : https://twitter.com/trubusonline. at the upper left side of the site you can find the address of the publisher and the site at http://trubus-online.com
Once again, I highly appreciate your nice conversation and please let me be informed if your require further assistance from my side. Best wishes.
