Artocarpus heterophyllus is the scientific name for jackfruit, and is family of Moracea. Jackfruit (also called "Jakfruit") is a type of fruit from India, Bangladesh (National fruit)[source?] and Sri Lanka.[1] When a Jackfruit ripens, it changes from green to slightly yellow.
The seeds are cooked and taken food, the green like unready fruit is cooked as a plant used for food, and the brown made ready is taken food a little cold.
The jackfruit tree can be up to 15-20 meters,[2] and its leaves are a stiff, glossy green color and measure up to about 15 to 20 centimeters long. This tree is considered the largest tree-borne fruit in the world[3] weighing near 18 kilograms and reaching up to 60 cm long in length.
