According to the clip owner, this jackfruit variety has been grown by a relative for many years. From the outside, the jackfruit looks no different from the usual jackfruit. However, when cut, it is "like cutting a watermelon" because inside the jackfruit there is absolutely no latex, no seeds, the segments and fibers are yellow and stick together, and the flesh is thick.

"Eating jackfruit like this seems fun. It's like eating watermelon. It's also not sticky like normal jackfruit. This jackfruit is less sweet, with a faint honey scent. So strange!", the girl and her relatives shared about the taste.
