Jackfruit, unlike other tropical fruits, is quite unique in nature.
It is a tropical fruit with a musky smell and a distinctive texture. Its taste has been described as that of juicy fruity gum.
The jackfruit is the fruit of the jackfruit tree which is found in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Gaining popularity in the United States and other countries in the west, it is famous for its health benefits and as a good source of nutrients. Famous as an 'underutilized crop,' this fruit is a nutritional jackpot.
It is highly rich in minerals like protein, potassium, and vitamin C, among many others. It was majorly cultivated in the Indian subcontinent because of the moist and warm climates but now has fallen out of favor. In different parts of the world where food insecurity is prevalent, the cultivation of jackfruit could serve as a major boon because, unlike the major crops such as wheat and rice, the jackfruit tree requires relatively lesser care and produces fruits that are rich in nutrients and have several health benefits. Moreover, the tree itself is a perennial hence it does not require replanting throughout the passage of seasons. As a food item, jackfruit is a great addition to any diet and can be enjoyed as a snack or added to recipes. Also, jackfruit is a natural source of cyanide, so intake in regulated amounts is recommended as cyanide can potentially be lethal.
Jackfruit is one of the tropical fruits which is known for its unique look, taste, and qualities, both productive and nutritional. It also has several health benefits, which are good for multiple reasons. Bearing such distinct qualities truly makes this fruit stand out among others.
The nutritional composition of jackfruit is impressive. It is extremely rich in beneficial nutrients and has a high nutritive value. It has been utilized as a source of high amounts of minerals and vitamins, which have been known to have health benefits for people suffering from various diseases. Let's learn about its nutritional facts in detail.
One jackfruit can contain around 100-500 jackfruit seeds inside it, which are both edible and nutritious in nature. Even though they are usually discarded as a fruit residue, their characteristics are quite healthy, and a person can eat jackfruit seeds under any ordinary circumstance.
Knowing about all the fascinating facts about jackfruit and its seeds may also interest you to know about the origins of this unique fruit. Used as a prominent food item in today's time, this fruit and its tree have their tale of origin deeply rooted in the medieval times when the Portuguese first discovered it on the western coast of India.
