Had a fresh jack fruit for the first timr in my life. It has been only to do for a while.. took a minute to figure out you cant just bite into it like a watermelon, lol. It was really nice a bit too dry and sweet for my tastes but filling and delicious all the same. It has these little pods of flesh you eat. Has to be the densest fruit ive ever eaten.
@freemo I remember reading recently an article about the usage of Jackfruit and Durian, a related species, can't recall exactly what for. Scientific related.
Digging thru the memory, it was for producing nano carbon particles I believe, and it was a lot cheaper than the usual processes.

Method of making a porous nano-carbon electrode from biomass
Jan 16, 2018 - KING SAUD UNIVERSITY
The method of making a porous carbon electrode is a chemical activation-based method of making a porous nanocarbon electrode for supercapacitors and the like. Recycled jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) peel waste is used as a precursor carbon source for producing the porous nanocarbon. A volume of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) peel is collected, dried and then heated under vacuum to produce precursor carbon.
The precursor carbon is mixed with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) to form a mixture, which is then stirred, dried and heated to yield porous nanocarbon. The porous nanocarbon is mixed with a binder, such as poly(vinylidenedifluoride), acetylene black, and an organic solvent, such as n-methyl pyrrolidinone, to form a paste. This paste is then coated on a strip of nickel foil to form the porous carbon electrode."
