If I can help anybody today, it might just be to say that if you see jackfruit in your local grocery store, leave it there and walk away.
This isn't the piece I bought. This is a pic I found online, because mine is now buried outside.
It's bland. It's tough to cut into. The flesh is a quagmire of tiny shreds of fruit surrounding seeds of all sizes, so you can spend 15 minutes digging and scraping just to get one spoonful of shreddy fruit free of the seeds, with barely any flavor, moisture or sweetness.
Never again.

Yes, there are the fake meat products made from jackfruit. The ones I have tried are pretty tasty.
I just wondered how you would make those when there is so little to work with, but after you posted, I looked it up, and actually those many, many seeds are edible, so maybe they blend it all up, seeds and all, with seasonings, spread it all out, bake it and cut it up.
I'm not gonna try it. It was a big annoyance to try to work with jackfruit. With spaghetti squash, you bake it whole, let it cool, cut it open, scoop out the seeds and you have all the lovely sweet baked flesh to use for soup, pasta sauce or whatever you want to make.
I love spaghetti squash, thinking about growing some kind of winter squash this year, might haveta plant a couple of those.
