This fruit tree produces fruit weighing over a hundred jin each, and 100 people cannot finish one

Fruit is an essential food in our daily lives. Netizens have eaten countless kinds of fruit, but few know how fruit actually grows. Today, the editor will introduce a truly impressive fruit tree, whose single fruit weighs up to a hundred jin.

That fruit tree is the jackfruit tree. The fruit it produces is the heaviest fruit in the world, generally weighing 5-20 kg, with the heaviest exceeding 80 kg. With fruit this big, let alone eating it, even moving it requires several strong men. Fruit is something we eat every day, but there is a fruit tree whose single fruit weighs over a hundred jin, making it the heaviest fruit in the world. The key thing is, if you don't hack at it a few times with a knife, it won't bear fruit! Known as the "Queen of Tropical Fruits," its flesh is thick and soft, sweet and tangy, with a rich fragrance. Each fruit is as big as a watermelon, with a green outer skin covered in soft spines; and the fruit grows on the tall jackfruit tree, which is why people in Guangzhou call the jackfruit tree "big tree jackfruit."

This fruit tree is very special. If you don't hack at it a few times with a knife, it won't bear fruit properly. Farmers who have grown jackfruit know that when a jackfruit tree has been planted for years without bearing fruit, or when excessive vegetative growth affects flowering and fruiting, it needs to "take a beating." To promote early flowering and fruiting and inhibit vegetative growth, when the main trunk of the jackfruit tree grows to a circumference of 30 cm (that is, a diameter of 100-115 cm), you need to use a knife to lightly hack several times around the trunk down to the xylem, in order to inhibit vegetative growth and make it bear fruit early and abundantly. After that, each time you harvest fruit once a year, you need to hack the tree once, to achieve early fruiting and high yield.

What the editor meant by "100 people can't finish it" is surely that each person breaks off a piece to taste. If you relied on jackfruit as your staple food, a jackfruit this big definitely wouldn't be enough to eat. Jackfruit has very high nutritional value, containing carbohydrates, sugars, protein, starch, vitamins, amino acids, and various minerals beneficial to the human body. Actually, eating a bit more doesn't matter.

The flesh of jackfruit has a unique sweet fragrance, suitable for eating fresh or processing into canned goods, preserved fruit, and juice. The seeds are rich in starch and suitable for boiling. ...Although jackfruit is delicious, eating too much can still cause internal heat, and especially people with poor digestion may get diarrhea from eating too much. Children should eat as little as possible, and when eating, it's best to wash it with salt water first.
