Sigh. I dont like jackfruit. I guess I can learn to like it. But jackfruit remains a hard sell in much of India. Although the fruit was seen as an important staple 40 or 50 years ago, it is now derided as a poor mans fruit, said Shree Padre, a jackfruit farmer from Karnataka. Only one or two commercial-scale jackfruit plantations are in current operation.In the country of origin, it is just not understood, he said. There is an inferiority attached to jackfruit. Any farmer would happily carry an imported apple in his hand rather than jackfruit.
