ngaras

Ngaras is a term that can refer to several distinct things, primarily a type of fruit and a geographical location in Indonesia.

As a fruit, Ngaras refers to the produce of certain species within the Artocarpus genus, commonly known as breadfruit or jackfruit. These fruits are large, often green and spiky on the outside, with a fleshy, starchy interior. The taste and texture can vary depending on the specific species and ripeness, but they are generally considered a staple food in many tropical regions, often prepared by boiling, roasting, or frying. The term "ngaras" is used in some local dialects to denote this fruit.

Geographically, Ngaras can also refer to a village or administrative area in Indonesia. For instance, there is a place named Ngaras located in the province of West Java, on the island of Java. Like many Indonesian villages, Ngaras is likely characterized by its agricultural activities, local customs, and community life. Information about specific locations named Ngaras would typically be found in local gazetteers or regional administrative records. The precise meaning of the term in a geographical context often derives from local language or historical naming conventions.
