Jackfruit. I had never heard of such a thing until last night. While running into the Lao Market to grab my case of ordered coconuts, I noticed quite a strange looking fruit sitting on the counter. The owners just Love when I come in as I'm like a little child in a candy store, giddy and full of questions. When I asked about it, she described it to me and said it was $7.99 for one piece, but when I hesitated she said it was half off for me as she wanted me to try it and come back and tell her what I thought. I took it to the Fam's house and we all shared in this new fun fruit. I would describe it as a cross between a mango and a pineapple, very sweet and sticky. So if you get a chance try it out sometime it is quite an experience!
Yummy
So how does one have a special drink and still have it healthy and Raw?
