WATCH: Shocking Discovery: Worms In Overripe Jackfruit Can Actually Jump!

2 Days ago

Who would have thought that worms found in fruits could actually jump?


That's exactly what TikTok user Dee (@rissarariz90) witnessed,  and captured on video,  when she noticed something unusual with a jackfruit she received from her mother-in-law. In the now-viral clip, worms can be seen leaping off the fruit and onto the floor, moving in a way that many viewers described as resembling a dance or a "shuffle."

According to Dee, the jackfruit might have been overly ripe, leading to the infestation. The fruit appeared quite dark with visible holes,  a telltale sign that something was off. But no one expected the worms inside to be so... acrobatic.


"Only now I found out these worms can turn into pocong. They're jumping around," Dee joked in the video, referencing the ghostly figure from local folklore known for its hopping movements.


The video quickly gained traction, with netizens flooding the comments section to express their disgust and disbelief. Many admitted they would have screamed and run away if they were in Dee's shoes. Others were oddly fascinated by the worms' unexpected agility.


Dee confessed that she did initially flee the scene but returned out of concern that the worms might crawl all over her house if left unattended.


Interestingly, a number of commenters pointed out that these jumping worms are not an entirely rare sight, they're often found in jackfruit and its cousin, cempedak. While unpleasant, the phenomenon isn't unheard of among fruit lovers who've encountered overly ripe or unkept produce.


Still, for many first-time viewers, the idea of jumping worms has now been added to their list of unexpected fears, or at the very least, a reason to inspect their fruit a little more closely.
