The tropical fruit known as jackfruit is technically called Artocarpus heterophyllus. The biggest tree fruit in the world is a member of the mulberry family . Jackfruit is renowned for its dinosaur-egg appearance and peculiar-smelling. In India, jackfruit is regarded as a ‘fruit of the poor’. The biggest advantage of the jackfruit is its versatility. When used in recipes, jackfruit performs a fantastic job of imitating meat, particularly chicken, hog, and beef. When young, raw, or semi-ripe, it is consumed as a vegetable, and when mature, as a fruit. Jackfruit is used in dishes including biryani, dry stir-fries, and curries and stews. It is pickled, dried and fried into chips, and deep-fried into koftas and fritters.
