Jack fruit

According to the Wikipedia encyclopaedia Jack fruit or (Nangka) in my place is a species of tree of the Mulberry family. Its scientific name is Artocarpus Heterophyllus. Its taste is sweet and the young jack fruit can be cooked with curries mix with coconut milk. Hubby brought this ripe jackfruit late Saturday evening from the backyard garden and I took the pictures.
