The jackfruit is a multiple fruit, composed of hundreds to thousands of individual flowers, and it is the fleshy petals that are eaten. The jackfruit is a popular food item throughout the tropical regions with a distinctive sweet and fruity aroma. A fully ripe and unopened jackfruit is known to "emit a strong aroma," with the inside of the fruit described as smelling of pineapple and banana. After roasting, the seeds may be a commercial alternative to chocolate aroma.  
 
The flesh of the jackfruit is starchy and fibrous and is a source of dietary fiber. The flavor is comparable to a combination of apple, pineapple, mango, and banana. Varieties are distinguished according to characteristics of the fruit's flesh and used to make a savory salty dish with smoked meat. The jackfruit arils are used to make jams, fruits in syrup and can also be eaten raw.
