Jackfruit

Jackfruit is a large tree-borne fruit most commonly found in The Southwestern Threshold and southwest Blessed Isle, similar to the Breadfruit. The unripe white fruit is used cooked in savory dishes, taking on a meat-like texture, while the ripe yellow fruit is eaten raw or used in sweets, Its golden-coloured wood is similar to Teak, and is commonly used for manufacturing rooves, furnishings, and the barrels used for Fish Sauce.

The fruit is surrounded by a thick, studded 'shell'. To access the fruit within, it is common to pierce this with a stake or blade, which is leveraged to split the jackfruit in two. The poet Cynis Hoxuan's poem [[Spring Essence|'The Jackfruit' introduced this act into the Dynastic canon of poetic imagery, and it continues to see use amongst the more salacious of Dynastic poets.
