Jackfruit – Everything You Need to Know

Jackfruit is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia and India. It has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its unique flavor, texture, and health benefits. In this blog post, we’ll discuss everything you need to know about jackfruit, from nutrition facts to how to select and store it.

Nutrition Facts

Jackfruit is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, as well as minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus. It is also a good source of dietary fiber and protein. Jackfruit is naturally low in calories (only 95 calories per cup) and fat-free. Furthermore, it is rich in antioxidants that can help protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

How to Select & Store Jackfruit

When selecting jackfruit at the grocery store or farmers market, look for fruit with no bruises or scratches on the skin. You may also want to check for any signs of mold or fermentation which can indicate that the fruit has gone bad. Once you have selected your jackfruit at the store, make sure that you store it properly at home by keeping it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

How to Prepare

Jackfruits come in two varieties – unripe (green) and ripe (yellow). Unripe jackfruits are best suited for savory dishes. While ripe jackfruits are great for desserts or smoothies due their sweeter taste. Depending on what you plan on using it for, you will need to prepare your jackfruits differently. For example, if you’re making a savory dish with unripe jackfruit you will need to boil or steam them first before adding them into your dish. On the other hand if you’re making a dessert with ripe jackfruit then all you need do is remove the skin and cut them into cubes before adding them into your recipe.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, there are many reasons why people should consider adding more of this fruit into their diets! Not only does it contain essential vitamins and minerals. But it can also be used as a meat alternative due its texture when cooked correctly!
