Langka, commonly known as jackfruit, is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, particularly popular in Philippine cuisine. This large, spiky fruit is prized for its vibrant yellow flesh, which boasts a sweet flavor and a texture that can mimic meat when cooked, making it an excellent plant-based alternative in vegan and vegetarian dishes. Langka is rich in dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion, and contains vitamins such as Vitamin C for immune support and Vitamin A for eye health. It also offers a good amount of potassium, which benefits heart health and helps regulate blood pressure. Additionally, the fruit is low in fat, though its natural sugars can be significant, so moderation is key for those monitoring sugar intake. Besides its nutritional values, jackfruit seeds are edible and pack protein and micronutrients, adding to its versatility as a wholesome food choice.
