If you want, I can create a single table comparing all three Jamun/Jackfruit varieties (Vietnam Super Early Jackfruit, KG10 Thai King, Thai Black Jamun) with Color, Weight, Fruiting Time, Sweetness, TSS, Brix, and Farming Tips for quick reference. This will make it very easy to see the differences at a glance.
