This is a better marang video lol
From what I have learned so far is that the tree itself is not cold tolerant, grows large, and may fruit from seed in 3 years. The fruit are softer than jackfruit, do not keep well as they oxidize quickly and turn brown when exposed to air (like an apple), taste something like creamy custard with hints of banana/kiwi/strawberry and have seeds. I am guessing they have a 'unique' smell as the name artocarpus ODORatisimuss and reports of diesel fuel imply maybe the outside rind of the fruit may smell funky. I have yet to try one by the way, but I will acquire seeds this year from somewhere and sprout one.
Wish me luck.
