Health benefits of Jackfruit

Jackfruit is a common fruit available in Kerala. The phase, in which this fruit is running towards its extinction, proves that ‘Keralites’ are not aware about the health benefits of this fruit.

This seasonal fruit was once an integral part of our diet. In our state, in which it was available in abundance, the food items prepared using this fruit were once given more prominence than others.

But, unfortunately, somehow Keralites’ divine relation with this healthy fruit met an unpleasant climax. We are no longer the same Keralite, who loved this fruit more than anything.    

Don’t you thing we must rethink?   

In the recent past, several studies have been conducted about the health benefits of this fruit.

Most of them have unanimously acknowledged that there are many health benefits to this fruit. There are unacknowledged reports that this fruit can even fight cancer and type-2 diabetes.

Anyway, there is no doubt that jackfruit is a healthy fruit. It is high to resume the romance with the ‘old buddy’.

Stay Health! Eat Jackfruit!
