Jackfruit
Jackfruit is a large, evergreen tropical tree known for producing the world's largest fruit. Jackfruit has a spiky, green exterior that encases sweet, yellow flesh when ripe. The fruit is versatile, offering both savory and sweet applications, with the unripe, green jackfruit often used as a meat substitute in vegetarian dishes. In addition to its culinary significance, jackfruit trees provide shade and are prized for their timber. The seeds are also edible and can be roasted or boiled, contributing to the overall sustainability and nutritional value of this remarkable tropical plant.
