Tag: Largest fruit

The world's largest tree-borne fruit can actually weigh over 100 pounds, making the common 80-pound mention a very real possibility. This tropical titan, known as the jackfruit, is a nutritional powerhouse and a culinary chameleon, thriving across South and Southeast Asia.

According to the Guinness World Records, the heaviest watermelon on record weighed over 350 pounds, but the jackfruit consistently holds the title for the largest tree-borne fruit. So, which fruit is bigger depends on whether you are comparing a typical specimen, a record holder, or the location of growth.
