'''Cempedak''' or '''chempedak''' (pronounced "chem-pe-dak"; [[syn.]] ''Artocarpus integer'' (Thunb.) Merr., ''Artocarpus polyphema'' Pers.) is a species of [[tree]] and its [[fruit]] in the family [[Moraceae]]. It is native to southeast [[Asia]], occurring in [[Malaysia]], [[Myanmar]], [[Brunei]] and [[Indonesia]]. The taste of the fruit is similar to the related [[Jackfruit]] and [[Breadfruit]] with a hint of [[Durian]]. A sweet, mild, and juicy pulp surrounds the peanut-like seeds in a thick layer between the husk and an inedible core. The outer husk of the fruit is slightly sticky. Fruits in Borneo may be nearly round and are hung by the stem as they become fragile when ripe.
