榴莲是世上最大的水果。它的重量可达10-100磅之间，能让一家人饱餐一顿。它富含人体所需的各种营养物质，但它成熟后很容易变质，所以人们采用各种方法来保存它。

On the outside, this giant fruit smells like sweet, rotting onions. But don't be fooled: The fruit, known as a jackfruit（榴莲）could save millions from starvation. Jackfruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world — one fruit can weigh between 10 to 100 pounds and contain hundreds of seeds that are rich in protein, calcium, and iron — all of which are important for bodily growth.

从外观看，这种巨型水果闻起来像甜甜的快要腐烂的洋葱。但是不要被蒙骗了：这种被称为榴莲的水果能够拯救几百万人不受饥饿。榴莲是世界上最大的树生水果。一个水果重约10到100英磅之间，水果内有几百棵种子，富含人体生长所需的蛋白质、钙与铁。

This enigmatic fruit is native to South and Southeast Asia; it is rare to find jackfruit in the United States. Luckily, Chinatown in Manhattan sells whole, fresh jackfruit.

这种神秘的水果原产于亚洲南部和东南部地区；在美国很少见榴莲。幸运的是，曼哈顿的中国城有卖整个的新鲜的榴莲。

Here's more about the strange but beneficial fruit.

Nyree Zerega is a plant biologist at the Chicago Botanic Garden who has studied the genetic diversity of jackfruit tress in Bangladesh.

Nyree Zerega是芝加哥植物园的植物生物学家，他研究孟加拉国的榴莲树的基因多样性。

"In Bangladesh, where jackfruit is the national fruit, it is often considered the second-most important crop after mangos," Zerega told Business Insider. "And if you have space to grow something, you almost always have a jackfruit tree — due to both its valuable fruits and timber."

Zerega 告诉《企业知情人》，“在孟加拉国，榴莲是国家水果，它们通常被当做是继芒果之后的第二重要的作物。”“如果有地方种植的话，人们几乎总是种植榴莲树——因为它既会结有价值的水果，又是好的木材。”
