Jackfruit

Jackfruit is a large fruit that has enjoyed widespread popularity in Asia, where the ripe fruit is commonly used for desserts and custards while unripe jackfruit is used in curries or other savory dishes. Though it is the national fruit of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, it was relatively unknown in western countries until recently.
The recent surge in the popularity of jackfruit worldwide is largely due to the meaty texture of unripe jackfruit, making it a healthy and tasty alternative to animal proteins for vegan diets and vegetarian dishes.
