Breadfruit , kluwih , jackfruit , cempedak … The four fruits are indeed familiar with the shape of the fruit that looks the same, the taste and even the tree resembles each other. Makes some people mistaken to be able to tell the difference. Of the 4 pieces, there are 2 kinds of shapes that are agreed to resemble the other 2 pieces.

Although they belong to the same genus, Artocarpus, they are completely different. Well, to make it easy to distinguish, this article will provide a brief review of the differences in these fruits which will be described by comparing 2 groups of fruits that have been confusing you.

Breadfruit has a slightly rough skin texture.

1. Difference between Sukun and Kluwih

At first glance, the shape of the fruit is the same. Namely, oval and green or yellowish green. Especially if you look at the tree, almost exactly. But if you want to see the difference, look at the texture of the skin of the fruit. Breadfruit has a slightly rough skin texture when the fruit is still raw and soft when the fruit is ripe. While the kluwih fruit has a thorny fruit skin texture. Like the skin of an unripe durian fruit.

Breadfruit flesh is thick and white. Has no seeds.

Then, pay attention to the flesh. When you split the breadfruit, you will see white flesh with a thickness of approximately 7 cm. Full flesh, without seeds. Meanwhile, when you split the kluwih fruit, the flesh will show the seeds.
