vue - Jackfruit plantation in India

Jackfruit or jack (Artocarpus heterophyllus), also known as jacquier, kathal, langka, nangka, khanun, makmi, banun, nongko, kapiak and peignai, is a plant which probably originated from the Western Ghats in India. It has become naturalized in many tropical countries, mostly in Southeast Asia where it is considered a major fruit. Where food is scarce, it is utilized as a staple. This fruit crop is adapted to warm and humid climates below 1000 masl, but it can thrive up to 1600 meters. It has poor cold, drought and flooding tolerance but has moderate tolerance to wind and salinity. It favors an annual rainfall of 1500 mm or more without pronounced dry season. It grows on various types of soil but prefers deep, well-drained, alluvial, sandy or clay loam soils with pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. This plant is described as a medium-sized, evergreen, monoecious tree up to 20 meters tall and 80 cm in diameter. It produces fruits which are very green or greenish yellow when ripe, hanging on short stalks from the main stem or large older branches. These fruits are botanically a syncarp, up to 100 cm x 50 cm in size. Seeds are numerous. A well developed fruit may contain up to 500 seeds, each weighing 3-6 grams. Practically all parts of the jackfruit plant are useful, from roots to leaves. The latex of the tree is used as bird lime. If heated, it makes an excellent cement for broken China. The bark has been made into rope and cloth. Many parts of the tree have been used traditionally as medicine. The timber is likewise classified as a medium hardwood with superior qualities for furniture, construction, musical instruments and other uses. However, this tree is more popular because of its large fruit which can weigh from 0.5 to 50 kg each. It is used in many ways. The pulp of the young fruit is cooked as vegetable , pickled or canned in brine or curry. The pulp or flesh of the ripe fruit is eaten fresh or processed into chutney, jam, jelly, paste or candy. It is also used to flavor ice cream and beverages, or made into honey, or processed into concentrate or powder and used in preparing drinks. The seeds are commonly eaten after boiling or roasting. In countries outside of the producing regions, jackfruit is available either in canned, packed or dried forms. There are now many companies engaged in producing dried jackfruit chips.
