Have you ever tried Nangkadak? 😁
A couple weeks ago we harvested the very first Nangkadak from one of our tree at the nursery.
It was absolutely delicious!!! 😍
Nangkadak (a Cempejack variety) is a Jackfruit & Cempedak cross, bringing together some of the best qualities of both fruits.
This tree is about five years old, but here’s the fun part: a few years ago, Jayanti top-worked the tree, grafting several different varieties onto it… 3 Cempajack varieties (Cheena, Sri Gading, and Nangkadak) and 2 Jackfruit (both Ziman Pink) all growing on the same tree!!! 😎
And now, one of those Nangkadak grafts has given us its first fruit! 🙌
As you can see when Jayanti opened it, the fruit was beautifully pollinated, with the inside packed full of plump, delicious fruit pods. And the flavor did not disappoint. 😋
And there are still 3 more fruits coming up 😲🤩
We love the magic of top-working and how it allows us to grow and evaluate multiple varieties on one established tree! 🤗

Have you ever had Nangkadak?
If you have, what did you think of it?
And how would you describe the flavor? 👇
