Known locally as “kos” or “kos mala,” young jackfruit is harvested before it fully ripens, offering a mild flavor and meaty texture that makes it a versatile staple in both traditional and moderncuisine.
This green, unripe fruit is celebrated for its ability to absorb spices and flavors, making it a favorite in curries, stir-fries, and vegetarian dishes
