Jackfruit
Jackfruit, or Artocarpus heterophyllus, is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, growing to the hefty weight of 80 pounds. It is also the national fruit of Bangladesh and may have been cultivated in India as early as 6,000 years ago. Related to the breadfruit and marang, its buttery flesh is thick with fiber and often described as starchy in flavor. One popular way to prepare this fruit is to deep fry it into crunchy, delicious jackfruit chips.

I got fruit!!!!
Who cares what fruit picture it is? They pretty much the same. I help my dad get the jackfruit meat. My mom likes to keep Durian in the freezer and it makes the house smell odd. I don't like eating Durian by itself as much as drinking a delicious Durian shake! MMMMM...best thing in the world! I hope to try all the fruits I haven't already tried on this list.
In English term it is JACKFRUIT, but in d Phils. we have different local names for it, like Langka or Nangka. Of course defends where u locally originated.
You either eat it when it is RIPE which has sweet taste (plus u can make a flavor in ice candy, halo-halo even in "ginataan", a sweet snack which is prepared with root crops like cassava, ube, linsa/tangoy n ripe banana(for cooking) with sugar n coconut milk.
Makes a tasty menu or cook it when it is RAW with coconut milk plus.... More

The Photo was replaced by a real photo of jackfruit. The article shows BEFORE a Picture of (MARANG) which is commonly seen in southern Philippines Particularly in Mindanao.. it mislead us especially people who do not know the fruit..
in sri lanka they call for this waraka or kos ...
this fruit sure taste sweet but the smell is like of dog fart
lami kay ni shake-kon ai, di ni butangan og asin dong FYI. Gatas kondensada ibutang og ice. Kan-on pa gani namo nang liso ana. Lung-agon namu sauna.
Sorry guys, the name may differ across the world. But for some, like Caribbean, this is a Jackfruit for us!
Love It with some salt....... (^_^)
Flesh is the outside of the fruit. The MEAT is the edible delicious part of the fruit. Seriously you have a job in journalism and you can't get that right? That's like calling a foot an arm.
this is jackfruit...love it, it so tasty..
Jackfruit grows abundantly in Southern India. This is an accurate picture of the fruit. I suppose similar fruits can be found in other parts of Asia as well that show some variation.
jackfruit is very good,the flesh is yellowish in color, and it has a slightly crunchy texture to it but it's soft, definitely a fruit you want to try
That is not jackfruit..
I raise Jackfruit and THAT IS Jackfruit....I also have Aguajefruit, Rambutan,Jabuticaba,Cupuaçu and a lot of fruit that you have never heard of. For Rambutan, if there was enough call for it I could export to the states...Don't be mislead,Cupuaçu is a great fruit but many of you listened to a TV voice about Açai being the next weight reducing food miracle...folks who eat that-it IS good don;t get me wrong-are pretty FAT. Açai is loaded with Iron and other minerals...really healthy but a.... More
This is a Marang/Johey Oak/Green Pedalai/Madang/Tarap/Breadfruit Cousin (Artocarpus odoratissimus) — also called Marang, Madang, and Tarap — is a tree native to Borneo. It is closely related to the Jackfruit, Cempedak, and Breadfruit trees. try to look it up at Wikipedia-Marang
Marang is one of my favorite and I know what it looks like. Marang has a lot of thin "spikes." The picture is definitely a Jackfruit. Search it on the internet and notice the difference of the "spikes." Jeez, do a little research first and look into details!
I just want you to know this Picture was replaced the by the real photo of Jackfruit. 5 days or a week ago it shows Photo of a MARANG thats why this article shows a lot of confusions to the readers. I hope the editor will make sure they are showing the exact photo before posting it on the Web..

You're right — these fruits are so closely related that we must have grabbed the wrong photo. Thanks for the catch.

This is SO Not Jackfruit.. this is "Madang" or "Marang". Wrong information. :)
check your sources.. this aint no jackfruit...
This is not a JackFruit we called it in the Philippines as MARANG it grows in the southern part of the Philippines Island of Mindanao We have this fruit tree in our backyard.. Love it..
these ain't jackfruit...
it tastes so good! its my favorite=)
that's not what a jackfruit looks like.. either they got the wrong picture or maybe this is just another kind/variety of jackfruit.
My title says it all.
Not jackfruit; its called ' Tarap ' by the natives of Sabah.
The flesh is white in colour and it is real sweet when its ripe......
This is not a jackfruit though similar to it or may also be a variety. But we call this Marang in our place. Taste is like milk similar to durian though smaller.
This fruit is called Marang (Cebuano) which is grows in Southeast Asia. It has a distinct aroma and very delicious!
hello guys every one of us has its own name if you have the proof then show it
whatever you will say its in the book IT IS JACK FRUIT if u call madang or marang well Cebuano is not an internatonal language
You can publish also your own book to be recognise
hehehehehhehehe
that is not a jackfruit.
nope, that's not jackfruit.
I've just tried to search images for jackfruit, and it's very similar...
