The flesh has a sweet, distinctive flavor, which some describe as a combination of fruits including apples, pineapples, mangoes and bananas.

Jackfruit is rich in nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Moreover, it is one of the rare fruits that is rich in B-complex group of vitamins and contains very good amounts of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), niacin, riboflavin, and folic acid.

HEALTH BENEFITS

1. Anti-inflammatory

Jackfruit exhibit potential anti-inflammatory activity. Study showed that phenolic compounds from jackfruit, Artocarpesin suppressed the production of proinflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide LPS-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) through the down-regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) protein expressions.

2. Support Immune Health

Jackfruit can help to alleviate inflammation and enhance immune barrier function. A study revealed that Polysaccharides from jackfruit pulp showed a protective effect on intestinal function through downregulated the inflammatory genes (TNF-α, IL-6) and up-regulated the free fatty acid receptors (GPR41 and GPR43) and tight junction protein (Occludin) mediate immune function in the small intestine.

Blood Sugar Control

Jackfruit has a fairly low glycemic index (GI) attributed to the fiber it provides, which slows digestion and helps prevent blood sugar spikes. Jackfruit also provides some protein, which may help prevent blood sugar levels from rising too quickly after a meal
