Looks like garlic inside. The small "cloves" have an undeveloped seed inside that you can eat. Tastes fruity with hints of grape, pineapple, guava, and Spanish lime. Very sweet. Nice soft texture, melts in your mouth.

This is jackfruit. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of the fruit I bought. It was large, spiky, and weighed 23lbs. Preparing the jackfruit was a hassle. It releases a sap when you cut into the fruit, the sap turns into a glue and is very difficult to remove from your hands. The yellow pulp connects to the core, and you can just pull it off. The pulp surrounds a tasteless, smooth seed that can be easily squeezed out.

That one jackfruit gave me a large amount of pulp. The pulp smells like bubblegum and tastes like a mixture of pineapple, banana and vanilla. Very sweet. The texture is similar to gum, and it is quite juicy. Not sure what I will do with all this pulp.
