The largest tree
fruit in the world, jackfruit sometimes called “jak fruit” or “jak”, can be up to 91 cm long and 50cm wide. Just one fruit can weigh as much as 35-40 kg. While jackfruit first appeared in the
rain forests of India, farmers now grow it in many parts of the world, including Thailand, Viet Nam, Africa, Brazil, and the Philippines. Only in recent years has jackfruit
started to become well known in the U.S.
The rind of a
jackfruit is green or yellow and spikey. Although it gives off a smell of rotting onions when it’s ripe and ready to eat, the pulp inside smells and tastes far better: like a
cross between pineapple and bananas. You can eat the seeds, too. And a jackfruit has plenty of them - up to 500. Each can reach an inch and a half in length. There are two main types of
jackfruit. One is small and mushy. It tastes sweet, but it’s slimy. The other type of jackfruit has crisp, crunchy flesh that’s not as sweet.

Vitamins
Jackfruit may be
higher in some vitamins and minerals than apples, apricots, bananas, and avocados. For example, it’s rich in vitamin C and one of the few fruits that’s high in B vitamins. Jackfruit also
contains folate, niacin, riboflavin, potassium, and magnesium.
Antioxidants
Carotenoids, the
pigments that give jackfruit its yellow color, are high in vitamin A. Like all antioxidants, carotenoids protect cells from damage and help your body work right. They may help prevent
diseases like cancer and heart disease, as well as eye problems like
cataracts and macular degeneration. As a jackfruit ripens, its carotenoid levels may go up.
Jackfruit also
contains many other antioxidants that can help delay or prevent cell damage in your body. While the inside flesh is high in these disease-fighting compounds, the seeds may contain even
more.
Health Benefits
The nutrients in
jackfruit may help lower your risk for some health issues, including:
Constipation: Jackfruit is a good
source of fiber, it could help you feel fuller for longer and help keep your bowel movements regular.
Ulcers: The natural chemicals in
jackfruit may help prevent these sores from forming inside your stomach.
Diabetes: Your body digests and
absorbs jackfruit more slowly than some other foods. That means your blood sugar won’t rise as
quickly as it might when you eat other fruits. One study found that jackfruit extract made it easier for people with diabetes to control
their blood sugar.
High blood pressure: The potassium in
this tropical fruit could help lower your blood pressure, which can help stave off heart disease, stroke, and bone loss.
Skin problems: The high amounts of
vitamin C in jackfruit may help protect your skin from sun damage. You need plenty of that
nutrient to keep your skin firm and strong.
Cancer: Phytonutrients, like those
found in jackfruit, are natural compounds that might have cancer-fighting benefits, such as
preventing cancer cells from forming in your body.
How to Store
Once a jackfruit is
ripe, it will turn brown and go bad quickly. To keep yours fresh, store it in the refrigerator. When kept cool and dry,
a ripe jackfruit can last up to 5-7 days.
