jackfruits
Huge spiky tropical fruit
Jackfruits are large tropical fruits with bumpy green or yellow skin and sweet, fibrous flesh.
Native to South Asia, they can weigh up to 80 pounds—among the largest tree-borne fruits.
The ripe flesh tastes sweet and fruity; unripe jackfruit has a meaty texture that makes it popular as a plant-based meat substitute: The tacos were made with pulled jackfruit.
