Jackfruit Seed is highly nutritious and I generally collect
& refrigerate them whenever we buy the jackfruit. We get in Singapore
during this season mainly.
The fiber in the seed helps fill you up, making it easier to
lose weight, and may lower your risk for heart disease, high cholesterol, high
blood pressure and constipation. Jackfruit seeds also provide resistant starch,
which may help improve blood sugar control and keep your gut healthy.
There are various ways in which you can cook this seed and
this post is a simple tomato based curry which goes well when we mix with plain
rice or with curd rice.
