  • Its a ploy in that people assume they are eating fruit and not some kind of pulp that’s next to the actual fruit. Jackfruit rags don’t sound too tasty so they leave it out purposefully. I understand but wouldn’t mind if they invented another word to use so if I actually serve jackfruit fruit to people it’s not weird for them by how different it is from the rags.

    I still think it’s strange that the seeds aren’t also marketed as edible. Its kinda like potato once boiled so I guess potatoes are just easier to use in a large scale.




  • As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.

    What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.

    I think it’s great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.



  • I like this idea in concept. However in most cases failure is mostly due to power loss. So unless these seprate systems have different power sources it might not protect from catastrophy that much.

    As some one who does aquaponics at home. Here are some things ive learned which you might consider.

    • There is a minimum physical footprint that these systems use, especially if you are trying to conserve power. So it might make more sense to max out those systems in that minimum footprint.
    • Different fish can have very different temperature and pH requirements.
    • The pH and temp that the fish like isn’t always what a plant wants.
    • some fish have much greater ranges of pH and temp requirements than others.
    • if indoors, it’s easy for a pest to establish. Like aphids will trive without ladybugs or green lacewings.
    • Vegetables grown in aquaponic systems simply do not taste as good as vegetables grown in soil. Often they are lacking flavor.
    • something about the water in an aquaponic system is excellent for propagation from plant cuttings.

    For these reasons, I use aquaponics more as a backup and complimentary grow system to my no till regenative garden. Having an indoor system is great in the winter if you want leafy greens or to proprpgate trees for the next season.
