A big chunk of a day's sugar in one serving.
Jackfruit carries roughly 29 g of sugar per 1 cup 1" pieces, which works out to about 19.1 g per 100 g. That places it in the 'high' band for a typical serving.
Because this sugar occurs naturally in the food itself, it typically comes packaged with fibre, water, or other nutrients that slow how fast it hits your bloodstream — unlike the same amount of sugar added to a processed product.
