Have you ever heard of Gac fruit? Gac fruit is round or egg
shaped and is full of spines (刺), like pufferfish(河豚). The
color of it is reddish orange outside and blood red inside.
Although the taste of it might not be as juicy and sweet as other
popular fruits, it is nutritious and helpful to human body. That’s
why more and more products are made these days.
Gac Fruit is easily found in India, Southern China and
Northeastern Australia and is also native to Hualien and Taitung
in Taiwan. While the fruit is commonly known as Gac, it is also
called Baby Jackfruit (波羅蜜), Spiny Bitter-Cucumber (刺苦
瓜), and Couple Fruit (夫妻果) by the locals. Its flat, round
seeds feel like wood and look like tortoises so people in Taiwan
give it a special name, “Wood tortoise Fruit (木鱉果).”
Besides, it is called “Sukuy” by Amis tribe (阿美族) and
“Hamunly” by Puyuma tribe (卑南族). The Amis cook the fruit
with meat for making soup while the Vietnamese (越南人) put it
in sticky rice for festivals and wedding.
In Vietnam, Gac fruit is also known as “fruit from heaven
(天堂)” because it is believed that Gac fruit can help with
longevity (長壽), health, and strength. This may be correct. The
latest studies of Gac fruit have shown that it has a large amount
of lycophene (茄紅素), 70 times more than tomatoes. Not only
can it help fight against cancer (癌症), but it also can help
prevent aging (預防老化). It is rich in carotene (胡蘿蔔素), up
to 10 times more than carrots and sweet potatoes. No wonder
some people say that it would be the next super food.
