Raw Jackfruit curry

Is raw Jackfruit (unripe, young) edible? I never knew the answer to this until my mother-in-law cooked made this dish. The texture is so different and the curry is so yummy. The cleaning process is bit messy and tedious. But we get cleaned and cut raw Jackfruit from the local market in India.
