I believe, Jackfruit originated in the Western Ghats region of India. The Portuguese colonials, later on, introduced the exotic fruit from Goa, to other regions of the world. Kapa jackfruit is very popular and much in demand, whilst the soft & mushy variety is used in desserts, juices, snacks, etc... Jackfruit is now being popularised and added to restaurant menus worldwide.
Filipinos wonder why western people eat it unripe. Ripe jackfruit is the most fragrant fruit I have ever smelled in my life. You can smell it from afar. It's also very delicious especially when ripe. Though we also cook unripe jackfruits and eat them as vegetables.
Oh my goodness I LOVE jackfruit!!! My parents used to have one in their yards, it lives and fruitful for over 30 years. The fruits are large, thick, juicy, and super-sweet! I love eating them raw or in es teler and kolak (some types of Indonesian soupy ice cream/snacks). We also harvest them young/unripe and make many delicious dishes like gulai nangka (Minangese/Padang jackfruit curry), sayur asem (sour soup), gudeg (Javanese sweet jackfruit dish), etc. You can also wash and boil the hard seeds with some salt to make simple yet tasty nutty snacks! Or dry them out to make jackfruit chips (quite popular as gifts in my city in Sumatra Island). I wish I still have that particular magical jackfruit tree, it was part of my childhood (I always hid on it when I play hide and seek at night with the neighbors kids, they never found me!) Unfortunately after my parents sold their house, the new owner immediately cut that beloved tree down before I can take a ripe fruit to reproduce it. 😭 We South and South East Asians truly love our jackfruit, yes? ❤❤❤
In Jamaica we have Jackfruit and everytime I see people trying to rip these unripe fruits I wonder… we love Jackfruit in Jamaica!❤❤ my Indian ancestors also cook it in the younger unripe state and it is soooooo good! Ok now I miss MIM (grandma😢😢) even more😭😭
Hi from Philippines Once we had this contest in our school on having largest fruits and we had won the largest and heaviest jackfruit which weight 73.19 kg So basically we just broke the world record undocumented and it was 6 years ago
I wonder if they had a cautious technique, when it was time to cut the onion. Can you imagine the inside and cleaning time spent on those pumpkins? Amazing!
I believe that ! I was born in Miami,Fla. We had 3 trees in our backyard that were there when my parents bought the house in the 50s. I don't know how much they weighed but they were bigger than the ones they are showing here! When I was a kid in the early 60s if we wanted some money ,me and my friends would pick about 7-8 of them and sit in front of the Winn-Dixie and sell them. Some of them we got 2.00 apiece for! I didn't know they were something special and now I wonder if those treees atre still in that yard.
My neighbor had a raddish grown in her farm and most of them were 5 or more kilo in weight ! She got the seed from the Koreans to grow and they were amazed that they invited her to visit Korea for a month !
Definitely not the heaviest jackfruit... its just the heaviest ever recorded but there are jackfruits here in the Philippines that weigh about 50 - 80 kgs.
1:25 when I worked at the goods rail depot back in 1967, we unloaded at one day lots of grapefruit. Lots of them had the size as in this video. They never made it out of the wagon. We ate them :) .
I'm from alaska where the largest cabbage in world is grown. But there are MANY h huge vegetables grown there. Mostly in Palmer ak. The top soil is 27 feet deep because of the alluvial fan from the matanuska river deposits there in Palmer ak.
It is amazing to know these facts about which fruits and vegetables hold the guiness world record but I am not as amazed how they were actually grown to achieved those sizes since the growers uses growth enhancers. Here in the Philippines we don't use it esp. growing jackfruit. Wanna the secret??? Just wrap the fruit in a jut sack or empty rice sack. That's how we do it here. And ofcourse var. of the fruit is a big factor.
I have found a lot of "Twin Fruits"-twin bananas, twin berries, twin cherries, even one time-twin zucchini. And twin mushrooms! I always wondered how twin fruits formed, now I now-they are formed when mutated blossoms fuse together! Thanks for the interesting information!
My best huge sized crop growing was an eggplant that was 750~800gr. I know farmers who managed to grow an eggplant at least 1kg. A friend of my father has harvested an eggplant 1100gr . You could feed 4 people with it. The trick these farmers in the video use has to to with very delicate fertilization, drastically minimizing the number of flowers (keeping very few-often forces the plant to re-direct growth) and most important cross pollination. The latter can require many growing seasons to get to that size. Ive also made my penis-shaped chili variety from accidental cross pollination of two cayenne chili plants, a cucumber shaped eggplant from tear shaped ones and currently stabilising a local Greek broccoli axillary shoot variety that has at least 2 stalks per plant!. This process requires a lot of time and passion for gardening however.
You don't call a Siamese twin the biggest person in the world because there's two people's worth of human stuck together. I don't see how you can get a world record out of three fruits/vegetable conjoined together calling them one fruit/vegetable?!?!?
The huge prize winning “pumpkins” that are grown for competition are not true pumpkins. They are actually squashes, technically classified as “pumpkin squash”. Like the large carving variety pumpkins sold for Halloween displays, they are generally unsuitable for human consumption as the flesh tends to be bland and insipid.
the pumpkins are the same type that you carve from the grocery store. my family has them up to just shy of 2000 pds in maine, started with normal and year after year with growing conditions then using the seeds of the new grow bigger ever year. they are tasteless at this point.
Seriously, the No. 1 is a Jackfruit. We had huge old Jackfruit trees which used to have three times the length and twice the thickness of the winner. Sadly, those trees are gone now, but most Jackfruits trees in the river side areas of Balasore, Odisha, India still bear them.
The jackfruit they have shown is being sold in every corner of the markets in India. I Have myself seen a 5.5 feet tall jackfruit with my own eyes here in Barabanki district Uttar Pradesh, at my maternal grandmother's village.. We still have that tree.
@@NEHAVERMA-eh4cy First time I saw a Jackfruit was in a forest in Hawaii where some had dropped and split open. They looked like they weighed about as much as I do, it was surreal. I didn't know such large fruits existed.
When i was in highscholl my father planted a Papaya i his farm . We put it on a 25 kilo sack of rice . Sadly the papaya has been goned. Because here in Philippines the climate is always changing and when it rains it always flooded.
The largest and delicious avocados are grown in Venezuela since Long ago,over 2kgrms,(4 pounds) and the price on the kilo is around $1,10 depending on season....they are absolutely delicious!! Sorry with! the spelling,my celular only writes in spanish
Those are really such a mega massive giant biggest big fruits that we can feed all the neighbours by using only one fruit!!!!!😱😱. That's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think last year I should have gotten the record for the world's smallest jumbo watermelon. It was suppose to weigh about 20lbs. It came out to about 4lbs. Don't know what happened in the growing process to make it small. It was good though.
Wow, what a big zucchini. That apple was ginormous. I never heard that the Idaho potato was in West Virginia. What linda super growth hormone is this old guy using to get his veggies so big? I would love to taste a jack fruit.
But what's that potato doing in this list? Did I miss something? Did the house potato was made by real taters? I'm still learning English and I'm confused...
This list is full of American farmers. There is no way one country produces the biggest of every type of crop. There are probably bigger crops and fruits out there but it is just undocumented. Also the fact that most of these records are from the last 30 years, it tells that we may still get bigger crops eventually. But as the title suggests "ever recorded" meaning there may be others that are bigger but have never been recorded officially.
It's not unusual to grow a really large fruit of jackfruit because they really grows big especially if they like the place they're growing I'm from the Philippines we have a jackfruit tree at the back of our house before that bears fruits sometimes it will fit at a 50kg fertilizer sack we are wrapping the fruit with a sack because it will be eaten by a fruit fly I think which barrows a hole at a young jackfruit fruit and they will eat the insides of the jackfruit fruits
The guy who did the onion is literally the cutest, wholesome old man I've ever seen
❤️👍🏻
I can't argue with that statement
The way he seems so proud is indeed very adorable. I think only John Lithgow can mimic it, LoL. ❤ (I love John Lithgow)
And I bet he could work us all right into the ground.
wish I could get someone to look at me the way this man looks at his onion
Would be interesting to see the inside of these fruits. The consistency, texture and taste compared to one of normal size.
Nasty probably
True though, might not taste the best because they focus on size rather than taste :(
I believe the watermelon was hollow and unappealing
hi amanda
yeah looks like only size matter here... forgeting small taste good too
These are like the celebrities of fruits and vegs.
Celebs like kids

There are even more larger avocados in Africa that grew naturally. Like in my country Cameroon the have never been documented unfortunately.
I'd watch a documentary on it! Phone home and tell them about TH-cam! Perhaps it will start an export business!
yeah i already eat one of them, in cameroon !
Yeah i have even dug larger patatoes myself here in cameroon
How big is it?
Someone from your village needs to upload a TH-cam video

Do they grow them in Cebu?
They sometimes grow larger than the sack, the larger ones usually grow underground you'll only notice them when they're ripe already
I once bought an enormous strawberry from a supermarket that looked larger than the record shown here.
Same
Love how the number one largest fruit wasn’t cultivated but grew in the wild.
True
The largest fruit ever is the giant pumpkin from the beginning which was cultivated
11:41 - you said those numbers the wrong way.
When you have something special, keep THOSE seeds.
Do people eat them? I feel like that is the only way to fully appreciate them.
The biggest are grown with love. That speaks volumes. ❤
