The edible part is the soft, fragrant flesh that surrounds the seeds inside the fruit. The fruit can look similar to jackfruit from the outside, but cempedak is usually smaller, softer, more aromatic and more custard-like when ripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Singapore and Malaysia, many customers know the fruit as cempedak, chempedak or cempedak nangka. Nangka means jackfruit in Malay and Indonesian, so the phrase Cempedak nangka is often used when people are comparing cempedak with jackfruit or looking for a jackfruit-like tropical fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCempedak in English is usually still written as Cempedak or Chempedak.

Cempedak is often softer, more aromatic and richer in flavour, while jackfruit is usually firmer, larger and more structured.
