The jackfruit is a species of fruit in the fig, mulberry and breadfruit family native to southwest India.

The jackfruit is well-suited to tropical lowlands and is the largest tree-borne fruit, reaching as much as 55 kg in weight, 90 cm in length and 50 cm in diameter.

The jackfruit texture is not dissimilar to a banana, mango or pineapple in terms of being dense and fibrous. But the taste is quite distinctive. Some say it's sweet and some say a jackfruit has a flavor similar to pulled pork, especially when cooked.
