Not all are fans of Jackfruit – the Mughal Emperor Barbar is recorded as saying, “The Jackfruit is unbelievably ugly and bad tasting. It looks exactly like sheep intestines turned inside out like stuffed tripe. It has a cloyingly sweet taste. Inside it has seeds like hazelnuts that mostly resemble dates, but these seeds are round, not long. The flesh of these seeds, which is what is eaten, is softer than dates. It is sticky, and for that reason, some people grease their hands and mouths before eating it. The fruit is said to grow on the branches, the trunk, and the tree’s roots and looks like stuffed tripe hung all over the tree.“
In Uganda and elsewhere, many disagree with the former Emperor. They enjoy their beloved Jackfruit, readily available in the Pearl of Africa, low in price, and provides a healthy treat for Ugandans, especially Children.
