I do.
Jackfruit is one of my favorite fruits.
I bought a kilo of sliced ripe jackfruit last weekend .
I ate it when I got home in my parent’s house. But nobody but me , ate it.
Though, 13 year old niece and my youngest sister like it and I let them consume it all/
My nephew said, it makes his tummy ache.
My 2 other sisters don’t like it that way, because they said it could make their tummies ache. They only like the candied jackfruits being one of the ingredients of a halo-halo (picture is that with identification of ingredients)
I love it , in whatever way it was made.
What about you?

That's nice that you love it too like me. Do they cook it in syrup also? Do you also have your version there of our halo-halo like that in the picture which points out what are its ingredients?
Here summer is a month away already. But we already have it.

I like eating fresh fruit rather than the sweetened or canned ones. I don't think it's eaten raw. Did you know that it's good for people with amoeba?

@toniganzon It is a delicious veggie viand that goes well with fried fish.

We cook the raw one in coconut milk, shrimp paste and with crabs. Put some sliced chili and voila , you have a delicious viand.
Yes, i also prefer it not in syrup-just as it is because it is already sweet.

But I know, when you see a canned one, you will try it. It's in syrup, the canned one. The syrup is so sweet, though the fruits itself is already sweet specially when it is already ripe.

I love it too except when I have my monthly period... =)
I think it also makes my tummy ache when I don't chew it properly. I experienced that when I was younger. I think it's hard to digest this fruit so we really have to chew it.
My young niece tasted it once and we asked her how was it. She said, "masyadong masarap". (too delicious) I think she didn't like it that much because of the strong smell and taste.

I suppose that's the raw jackfruit, cooked in coconut milk with crabs or shrimps. So delicious when it is spicy.

Maybe because this fruits is indigenous only in tropical countries.
Though maybe those canned ones have reached your country as an imported one from the tropical countries.
It is delicious. Though, some people don't like its smell. But for me it smells delicious.

@Sreekala I super agree. I love it. 
I will buy one again on Sunday, Market day in our hometown, where the people from the island comes down to town to sell their produce. They are given stalls on on street outside the wet market.
Wednesday also is a market day.

I don't know how it becomes a substitute for meat. Although, we cook the raw fruit and the jackfruits flesh in coconut milk , shrimp paste and shrimp or crabs, and it is so delicious as viand.
Yes, you should try it. Although some people don't like the strong smell. But for me, it smells delicious. Its smell cannot be hidden.

I like ripe and sweet jackfruit too but I seldom eat them and when I do, I don't eat too much because jackfruit is hard to digest.

I love jackfruit. I have to take it in very limited amount because of my diabetes. I am the only one who likes it in my family. My husband and children don't like the smell of it. I always eat fresh ones. I have never tried the canned ones.

Yes, I do Ms. Reb. I can consume a big slice of the whole fruit. I remember the time when we have to go to farm, although it's in the most hinterland part of our village I should go together with my parents in weekends because my purpose there is to eat only langka and the sweetest buko there.

Oh wow! I envy you for having jackfruit tree in your parents yard.
We used to have buko or coconut trees on the side of our front yard and we once in a while let the helper get some buko. However, it is dangerous for us children running around in the yard, because a coconut can fall over our heads, so they were all removed.
