What is the biggest fruit in the world?
Answers
Answer:
Then again, the jackfruit is not your typical fruit. It's got a distinctive, musky smell, and a flavor that some describe as like Juicy Fruit gum. It is the largest tree fruit in the world, capable of reaching 100 pounds. And it grows on the branches — and the trunks — of trees that can reach 30, 40, 50 feet.

- Is Incorrect
A giant pumpkin is an orange fruit of the squash Cucurbita maxima, commonly weighing from 150 pounds to over 2,000 pounds.
Weight
Last week, Wallace broke the North American weight record with his 2,230-pound behemoth. So why can these monsters grow so large? Atlantic Giant pumpkins can pack on close to 50 pounds a day during peak growing season, says plant physiologist Jessica Savage at the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University.
Price
Giant pumpkins cost $2 per pound - This is my average price. Prettier pumpkins such as this one or this one may be higher, or at least non-negotiable.
