Jackfruit, locally called “Kathal” in Bengali “কাঁঠাল”; one of my favorite fruit, this is also National fruits of Bangladesh. It’s a summer time fruit and grows everywhere in Bangladesh. Especially, jackfruit grows very well in three places in Bangladesh like: Savar (Dhaka), Gazipur and Bhaluka (Mymensingh).

Hello @BorrisS
Thank you for comments,
Jackfruits is a delicious and it has a very nice and strong smell that makes your mouth watering to have it. It’s a very common fruit and found everywhere in Bangladesh and very cheaper though.
You can’t finish a single jackfruit, you need at least 4-5 persons to finish a single fruit.
We can have only fruit or have with puffed rice or have make it juice then mix with rice and milk-it’s a delicious menu.
