Canned Jackfruit -- What's the Difference Between Ripe and Green Jackfruit?

I love canned young green jackfruit. Unripe jackfruit makes a great meat substitute for vegetarian meals, and I use it in several recipes as a tasty alternative to meat. When you find canned jackfruit at the grocery, you'll often see both ripe and unripe canned jackfruit. What's the difference?

What is Jackfruit?
Jackfruit is exactly what it sounds like, a fruit, but its HUGE. A 50 pound jackfruit is not uncommon. This giant tropical fruit grows on
trees and is very popular in Asia. Unripe, jackfruit can be treated like a starch, cooked and used in savory dishes. Ripened jackfruit can be eaten raw and is
juicy and sweet; quite a combo. Buying and cleaning a fresh jackfruit is quite an endeavor. For me, canned jackfruit is a perfect ingredient.
