FruitsAs the jackfruit season began in June 2026, Jagonews24 set out what to know before eating Bangladesh's national fruit in the heat. Food data and health authorities point to moderation, with medical advice for people with diabetes, kidney disease or a latex allergy.
Lychees are nutritious, but eaten on an empty stomach they can dangerously lower blood sugar, especially in children and undernourished people.
