Artocarpus heterophyllus ICRAFF_11314 (Jackfruit)

Artocarpus heterophyllus ICRAFF_11314, commonly known as jackfruit, is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world and belongs to the Moraceae family. This evergreen tropical tree produces massive compound syncarp fruits that can weigh up to 55 kg.

Jackfruit trees are characterized by their large leaves and robust woody tissue. The edible fruit has a sweet, distinctive flavor and serves as both a fruit and vegetable, providing an important starchy carbohydrate source.

Jackfruit has gained global attention as a vital food source and meat substitute due to its fibrous texture when unripe, making it valuable for both nutrition and sustainable food systems.
