The Cempedak is a tropical fruit that can be used in both its unripe and ripened states. Cempedaks have a very distinctive aroma. While Cempedaks strong scent may turn off some westerners, many others enjoy the fruit for its rich flavor that, when ripe, shares some of the tangy hues of its cousins, breadfruit and jackfruit, as well as the dynamic characteristics of other tropical fruits. The Cempedak resembles an elongated melon with dull and fleshly spines and skin patterned with small hexagons. The skin is green and hard when immature and yellow or pale orange when ripe. Its mature flesh differs from one individual to the next from variations within the species with colors ranging from the common yellow and orange to pink, red, and white.
