I like jackfruit as a vegetable. However, in South India, this fruit is treated as fruit. Ripe jackfruit tastes sweet but you wrote that wild jackfruit tastes sour. Why this happens that wild jackfruit doesn't taste sweet?

Hi @akdx... Yes, as you said ripe jackfruit tastes very good and is sweet. This one naturally has a sweet and sour taste,when we used to eat it in my childhood. But yesterday, though the color looked so good and tempting, it was so much sour in taste just like a row Mango.!! Don't know why.... :)
नमस्कार गीता जी। Sometimes nature plays mysteriously. I think other factors viz pollution, lack of proper nutrition in soil, use of pesticides etc may be the reason of turning that jack fruit sour. Or perhaps, it may be the reason that this fruit had changed to a different gene.
