What is a pineapple? Is it different from ordinary pineapple?
There is a difference, not the same fruit. Wood pineapple, also known as bud radish, jackfruit, tree pineapple, big tree pineapple, honey wax gourd and tripe fruit, was introduced into China from India during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and was called "Pinanao" (Sanskrit Panasa antithesis). In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed jackfruit, which is still in use today. It is a world-famous tropical fruit and belongs to the evergreen tree of Cinnamomum of Moraceae. India, native to tropical Asia, is widely cultivated in tropical and humid areas.

Because jackfruit is the heaviest fruit in the world, it generally weighs 5-20kg, and the heaviest is over 50kg. In addition, the fruit is thick and soft, sweet and delicious, and rich in fragrance, and is known as the "tropical fruit queen".
