Jackfruit is a large, tropical fruit that grows on the Jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus), which is native to South and Southeast Asia. The fruit can weigh up to 100 pounds and is known for its sweet, juicy flesh and its tough, fibrous exterior. The seeds of the jackfruit are also edible, and they can be roasted, boiled, or ground into flour.
In terms of plant description, the Jackfruit tree is a fast-growing, evergreen tree that can reach heights of up to 100 feet. It has large, glossy leaves and produces yellow, fleshy flowers that grow in clusters. The fruit grows in large, bumpy pods and has a tough, green exterior that turns yellow as the fruit ripens.
Seedless jackfruit varieties exist, but they are usually obtained through cultivars, not through seed propagation. These varieties typically produce smaller fruit, but still have the same sweet and juicy flesh.
