The Giant Fruit That Feeds Millions
A Fruit Unlike Any Other: The jackfruit is the largest edible fruit that grows on a tree. Some jackfruits can weigh up to 80 pounds and grow over three feet long. This size alone makes it stand out among all fruits. Jackfruit is native to South and Southeast Asia, where it has been grown and eaten for hundreds of years. Countries such as India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Indonesia have long relied on it as a food source.
