Utu: Jackfruit Fruit Similar to Irregular Shapes
My childhood friends whose heads are not round are often mocked as head-fruit utu, in accordance with the uneven form of malleable utuk fruit. The fruit looks similar to jackfruit, from the soft spines, but the shape is quite different. Utu fruit tends to rounded, although berbenjol to and fro, while jackfruit fruit elongated and not berbenjol. Utu is still closely related, though another clan, with jackfruit, cempedak, arise, and breadfruit. Plant with the scientific name of Parartocarpus venenosa Becc.
