Jackfruit is one of my favorite snacks during refreshment time. It is very delicious especially if the ripe fruit is sweet and juicy. Some of the harvested jackfruit is crunchy and tasty.
During tree planting, pupils bring jackfruit seedlings from their homes, which is why the school is surrounded by many jackfruit trees. From time to time, we can enjoy eating ripe fruit, as they survive in tropical countries like the Philippines, and our school is abundant in this kind of fruit.
Jackfruit is a good source of vitamins and minerals that can boost our immune system and prevent other health issues.
I am glad to tell you, my dear Hivers, that I have found a way to relieve my stress at work, especially when there is an urgent report. I cannot avoid feeling tired at work because being a teacher involves multitasking.
Teaching in rural areas where there is an abundance of native fruits like bananas, jackfruits, and mangoes is an advantage for us. We rarely find such an advantage in urban areas without spending money.
Do you also eat my favorite snacks? What kind of snacks do you have during your refreshment time? I prefer this kind of food because it is nutritious and available in my locality.
Can you guess what this is?
What can you guess about this fruit? I was amazed looking at this when my co-teacher brought this up in Home Economics. It looks like a breadfruit, a marang, and a jackfruit. By touching the skin and smelling it, I can tell that this one is a jackfruit. It was already ripe, so I sliced the fruit and shared it with my co-teachers.
This time, my co-teachers and I happily shared this small ripe jackfruit, but sadly it was not enough for us.
Since it was small and there were many of us, we looked around to find another ripe jackfruit. We were so blessed on that day because we found another one. This time, it was big enough for us to eat.
This one is big enough for us, it's the first ripe fruit of this jackfruit tree. We did a little ritual to make the fruit become sweet and tasty next time.
All of us enjoyed eating this set of another ripe jackfruit. I can feel a little relaxation, maybe this fruit gives a soothing effect to my exhausted body. Since it was big, we cannot consume the whole thing. We decided to mix the remaining fruit in a benignit (sweet stew) in the afternoon.
I volunteered to cook the sweet stew, and we had to buy the other ingredients, so we agreed to contribute to making it into reality. After it was prepared, our utility worker started to make a fire because we were using firewood. We are using a big pot so that all the ingredients can be able to fit. The ingredients used in cooking sweet stew are ripe banana, sweet potato, landang ( native tapioca), coloured tapioca, sticky rice (malagkit), sugar, coconut milk, and taro (gabi). The quantity depends on how much you want and how many will eat the benignit.
My stomach is full today, so I need to burn off the calories when I go home. But I am sure that teaching in front of my learners, most of the time I stand facing them can burn calories already.
Another blessing on the table was the cooked mature bananas. Our utility worker is a very industrious one, and every request will be granted. I only ate a few because my stomach was very full. We had a great bonding moment at our long table during recess time, eating foods that we got from our school backyard or locality.
I will check my weight tomorrow; I think I have gained weight. But there is nothing to worry about because what I eat is very natural, with no preservatives and no chemicals. What is important is to eat in moderation to maintain a healthy body.
That's all for this day. Thank you so much for the time spent reading my blog.❤️
This is one of my favourite fruits. I have planted jackfruits in our backward and I'm hoping I can harvest them in future. Maau unta tam.is ang tanan.
The next time we will harvest the second fruit I will reserve yours.
Wow! Thank you for this. I feel I'm special.😍😍
Yes you are, hehehe
I love jackfruit❤️i want to plant this fruit at home😊
There are a lot of seeds we had last day, but it's not a good kind to plant. The jackfruit we had at the back of our home economics is a good one.
Wow, kadghn na snacks mam @simplybil oi.
Hehehe as always @iamgagz09, teachers are very resourceful to find food for snacks and we have it in our school.
Yes jud mam, nara jud sa garden tanan gusto kaunon bsta pwede nalang.
Wow! It's true that "kapag may itinatanim, may aanihin". Enjoy @simplybil with your co-workers.
Yes sir @natsve54, this is our stress reliever in school. We will find anything in our garden for our snacks and everyone is enjoyed eating.

Ka gwapa ba sa nangka nga mura lang og kamansi ang gidak-on hehehe. Karon paku naka kita og nangka ng minimi....
You are not here in home economics when we eat this small jackfruit? Very cute and the flesh was not tasty, not like on the big one. Thanks @missbebeth for your time🥰
Wow!! I love jackfruit too, tho it's mostly not found here except for few market women that transports it to the nearest market for sale.
Keep eating healthy to keep fit
Hi there @de-covenant, thank you for your time in reading my blog. We had plenty of jackfruit trees here in our school. We used to eat it if there is ripe fruit from the tree. I hope you are near from me here so that I can give you.
These are all good food. It's been so long since I last had a ripe jackfruit. Usually kasi ginugulay namin while hilaw pa ee. Ang sarap ng ginataang langka baga. I also see these sa palengke kaso di ako makabuy ng hinog. Huhu, I miss it. I missed it's nakakalasing na amoy toom
Yes it is good also cooking this in a coconut milk, or adobong langka. But here in our school we prefer to eat the ripe fruit. Our school is abundant on this kind of fruit.
I used to love jackfruit not until I had my worst experience with it. I ate a slice of it at school, given by my first grade teacher of which she bought it from a nearby store outside. When I reached home, I was vomiting, I was helpless and became unconscious because of jackfruit. I have this trauma until now. But I still like how it smells.🥰
What a bad experienced is the jackfruit still fresh?
I can't remember maam. I was in fear of what happened and my parents were already alarmed. I didn't know what really triggered .
Mam pinakapaborito na nako. 😭 kalami mam. Papalita ko. Hehe
Hello there @missleray are you fond also in eating jackfruit? We almost eat this everyday, I hope I can reach you and send the spare of the fruit.
Wow I loved jackfruits! nice pictures the food looks so delicious 💛
It comes from our school backyard, this is our food for our snacks.

Kalami sa nangka. I miss eating jackfruits. Way nangka dinhing dapita. Huhuhaha!

Taga Cebu ra ko maam. Hehe!
Ok Cebu sad ko, amping diha.
SAlamat. Kamo pod dinha. How's the weather?
The binignit also looks delicious maam. It's been a long time since I had some. We also recently harvested some jackfruit in school and many teachers were able to enjoy the sweet fruit. Nature's blessing is amazing. 💜
Perfectly cooked, we had lot of foods during this days ma'am, thank you for taking a glance on my blog ma'am.
What a great kind of bonding maam @simplybil. Hehehe! Dili gyud magutman.
This is our bonding moments, we will look for foods in the school backyard it's either banana or jackfruit. We really had a great time talking and eating, somehow we are able to release stress. Thank you ma'am for taking a glance on my blog.
Waaah… one of the things I missed about teaching in the Philippines… Those fresh fruits from the backyard that we shared along with the fun stories ..💙
Yeah jackfruit and mango are waiving for you, we always eat here in the H.E that is why most of us are very healthy 😁
