Summer brings a range of juicy, tasty and nutritious fruits, and jackfruit is among the most popular. Bangladesh's national fruit is known not only for its taste but also for its nutritional value.
Many people believe, however, that eating a lot of jackfruit in hot weather can cause discomfort, indigestion or other problems, so there are some important things to know before eating it in summer.
Jackfruit is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It contains vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, dietary fibre, carbohydrates and antioxidants, which help boost immunity, improve digestion and provide energy.
When to eat it
According to many nutritionists, jackfruit is most beneficial eaten around midday or in the afternoon. Eating too much at night may increase the risk of digestive problems.
Not only the fruit but its seeds are highly nutritious, containing protein, dietary fibre, iron and calcium. Jackfruit seeds can be boiled, fried or used in various dishes.
Jackfruit is a very nutritious and beneficial summer fruit, but like any food it should be eaten in moderation. People with diabetes, kidney problems or digestive complications in particular should be careful. Eaten in the right amount and at the right time, jackfruit can give the body nutrition, energy and various health benefits on hot days, so enjoy it, but mindfully.
