Jackfruit is a super food in many ways. It is big, rich in nutrients, many parts can be used in cooking and it can be consumed in different phases of maturity starting from tender jackfruit till ripe & unripe mature jackfruit in sweet and savory dishes. It is best fruit that can help a country like India achieve food security dreams. When I write about jackfruit, its seed includes too. Jackfruit seed is one of best protein rich food articles which is underrated. This can be used in varieties of delicious dishes wither sweet or savory again.
