Ayur Jack Fruit Seeds (Artocarpus heterophyllus)
Native to the Indian subcontinent, the Jackfruit tree has flourished in the region’s fertile soil for centuries. A giant among tropical trees, it can reach towering heights of over 50 feet, with a robust trunk and expansive branches that bear the largest tree-borne fruit in the world. True to its name, the jackfruit is often considered the "jack of all fruits", valued for its versatility at every stage of maturity.
Each fruit is a heavyweight, typically weighing over 10 pounds, and is encased in a thick, spiky green rind that ripens to a golden brown hue. Inside, hundreds of seeds are tightly packed in sweet, aromatic flesh—both the seeds and the fruit are edible and widely used in various culinary preparations. Whether young and unripe (ideal for savory curries) or fully ripened (enjoyed as a dessert or juice), the jackfruit plays a vital role in South Asian cuisines.
In traditional Sri Lankan kitchens, surplus jackfruit was preserved using a wooden rack known as an atuwa, hung over the hearth. The smoke-drying process not only preserved the fruit but also infused it with a rich, smoky flavor—a delicacy when later cooked as curry.
