About Jackfruit seeds

Jackfruit seeds, often overlooked treasures of the tropical jackfruit, are nutrient-rich and widely used in traditional cuisines across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa. These seeds are a good source of protein, dietary fiber, and essential micronutrients like iron, potassium, and magnesium, making them valuable for maintaining energy levels and overall health. Their nutty flavor and starchy texture lend themselves well to roasted snacks, curries, or even flour when ground. Jackfruit seeds also contain antioxidants, which help combat free radicals and support immune function. Despite their benefits, they should be consumed in moderation, as they contain trace amounts of anti-nutrients like tannins, which can impact mineral absorption. Proper cooking neutralizes these compounds, ensuring their safety and enhancing digestibility. Jackfruit seeds are a sustainable and versatile ingredient, transforming waste into wholesome nutrition.
