Artocarpus heterophyllus
The jackfruit tree is well suited to tropical lowlands, and its fruit is the largest tree-borne fruit,[7] reaching as much as 80 pounds (36 kg) in weight and up to 36 inches (90 cm) long and 20 inches (50 cm) in diameter.
This tree is widely cultivated in tropical regions of India.
Unripe green jackfruit is used as a vegetable to make various spicy curries. Ripe jackfruit is naturally sweet with subtle flavouring. The flesh of the jackfruit is starchy and fibrous, and is a source of dietary fibre.
