Our human saw and recognised these fruits on the path. These were still young, not matured or fully grown yet.
It is possible that either the bad weather or some animals may be the cause of the falling. Due to the thick foliage above, our human could not determine which tree these fruits belonged to.
These are either nangka (jackfruit in English) or cempedak (honey jackfruit in English).
Nangka is usually huge and oval in shape while cempedak is smaller and tubular. Nangka tastes sweet and fruity when ripe, like a mix of banana, pineapple, and mango, with a fragrant, sometimes durian-like smell, while unripe nangka is mild, chewy, and absorbs spices, often used as a meat substitute in savory dishes.
Our human loves unripe nangka cooked in coconut milk with a bit of chilli, 'Nangka muda masak lemak' or 'Young Jackfruit Curry with Coconut Milk' and could seldom enjoy it as unripe nangka is so difficult to get.

This is one post that has made our mouths salivate. Oh to have such delights fall at our feet. It would make the monsoons (the UK kind) bearable . . .
Have a wonderful and tasty week ahead.
