How to Prep Jackfruit Video

So, we bought a giant jackfruit and cut it up on film. Of course, we ate it up, too. It was for an article on CultivatetoPlate.com. I wrote all the text and researched the proper names for the jackfruit parts - "avrils" (sweet edible parts), "seeds" (the seeds found inside the avrils, and the "rags" (the inedible layered parts between the avrils) - which was good for the article and good for the video. I also added little fun facts throughout the video, like

  • A large jackfruit can weigh up to 110 pounds and contain up to 500 seeds (no that's a large fruit!).
  • The avrils can be eaten raw (super sweet), pickled or sauteed.
  • The jackfruit flavor is cross between a banana, mango, pineapple, and a peach.
  • Seeds of a jackfruit are edible and can be boiled or baked, then peeled and mashed. The flavor is similar to chestnuts.

The music I found had an upbeat surf sounding tune and fit well with the sped up footage.
