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 '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.
