Jackfruit, Artocarpus heterophyllus 1/
Easy care, grows like a beast. It can zone push to at least 8 in the US and still get worthwhile harvest… of leaves!
This thread is how to cook with jackfruit leaves. They are dense in nutrition and protein. And they’re not just for goats!
Young leaves taste slightly sweet and herbal with a tiny tang.
Mature: dark herbal flavor with undertones of star anise.
