The jackfruit is a very large fruit from trees native to south-western India and Sri Lanka. Jackfruit can be up to 90cm long, 50cm in diameter, and weight up to 36kg. The taste is similar to that of pineapple, but milder and less juicy. It is popular throughout South Asia and South-east Asia.
Jackfruit can be eaten as a fresh fruit, both ripe and unripe. It is also often combined into cooked meals, both sweet and savoury. Jackfruit can be bought in cans, and as dried pieces.
