Wikipedia says, “The jackfruit (not to be confused with the Durian fruit) is native to India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It is also possibly native to the Malay Peninsula, though it is more likely that it was introduced there by humans. It is commercially grown and sold in South, Southeast Asia and northern Australia. It is also grown in parts of Hawaii, Brazil, Suriname, Madagascar, and in islands of the West Indies such as Jamaica and Trinidad. It is the national fruit of Bangladesh and Indonesia. All jackfruit plants are frost sensitive. The jackfruit bears fruit three years after planting.”

The first two shots are taken with the Canon PowerShot G6 while the rest are with the PowerShot SX1 IS. All post-processed.

There is definitely something in the way the G6 interprets the colour. Or have I over processed the other images?

Do you like your food hot? I do. In fact, I seek out hot food. This type of chili — known in Malay language the “cili api”, literally fire chili — is the spiciest of the species, and is also among the smallest.

If anything, this is one fruit you’d better not take lightly for its size. I can tell you one thing — it’s hot!
