large fruit

This is probably one of the largest jackfruits I had witnessed. Displayed on a fruitjuice stall inside a mall on the south side of the city, the fruit's impressive size attests the fertile volcanic soil of Davao, courtesy of nearby Mt. Apo, the 'grand old man' and tallest peak in the country. Davao is also dubbed as the Fruitbasket of the Philippines for the wide variety of exotic fruits found in its farms and orchards like banana, marang, mangosteen, rambutan, pomelo and of course, durian.

Look closely at the picture and the jackfruit actually 'speaks.' It insists it's for real just to convince exasperating skeptics.
