Each jackfruit is made of more than a thousand flowers.
 Ripe jackfruit arils are sometimes seeded, fried, or freeze-dried and sold as jackfruit chips
== Etymology and common name ==The word jackfruit comes from Portuguese jaca, which in turn is derived from the Malayalam language term chakka (Malayalam: chakka pazham), when the Portuguese arrived in India at Kozhikode (Calicut) on the Malabar Coast (Kerala) in 1499
