Best jackfruit variety ?

[Emmarose]

Hi, there is too much jackfruit varieties for sell. Could you advice me a good one, sweet and not strong taste to grow ? 

 

Cheers

Don't forget the seeds are edible too, excellent nutritional value.
Locally I bought a 2kg bag of seeds in local market for 20 baht.

I normally boil the jackfruit pieces and once the seeds are slightly soft to the touch remove them and place outside to dry, this may take 2 days depending on weather.
The outer skin becomes hard and you just remove before eating.
They taste a little bit like chestnuts.
They are good as a snack or include in your breakfast, I am a vegan so have 6 - 8 pieces before the main part of my breakfast.
The following link is good and gives a good warning about the latex content etc.
ENJOY
