Ask them to produce a video of opening the fruit to show the white color.
If they are honest, they will do it.
Most likely they will have an excuse and delay but promise.
Liars count on trust and greed.
Trust but verify, never be greedy, something too good to be true usually is.

I'm pretty sure it is Marang as well, some sellers before actually had some pictures on their sales posts which included pictures of Marang.  When I pointed out that the fruit in the picture was Marang, they deleted the post.

There are many many Thai fruit videos, almost anything and everyone has a cell phone but no one can show a white Jackfruit being opened. Maybe there is a reason why? If you really had such a thing, wouldn't you advertise by video?

You think our farmers can make video and have camera for that? And you think this new jackfruit can fruit in 3 month??

As far as we can tell, this jackfruit is real.  My wife translated the original post and apparently this farmer gambled and bought this one with high price. Believe that it’s an old variety.  He’s a farmer and never saw and taste this before.  He thinks it could be the first and only variety in the world with white flesh.

A rare fruiter from Thailand went on to get more confirmation:   it is a real one from the old un-popular variety thai jack. the fruit was difficult to sell because thai people rather choose yellow or red jack instead of pale white flesh that look un-ripe even the taste was tasty. thick sweet crunchy flesh.

So can only hope that one one of these guys purchased a grafted plant and positively confirm in a few years!  Will be interesting.

Yes the shop from picture sells grafted tree for 1000 baht....i did not buy one because it is jackfruit and we have many. 1000 is much so it must be special.

The Florida price of a standard 3 gallon grafted jackfruit tree is $35, which converts to 1115 baht. It is funny how color sometimes seems more important than taste in the things we eat. That being said, I would gladly add it to my collection.
