Notes

 

The nutrients in jackfruit may help lower your risk for some health issues, including:
 Jackfruit is a good source of fiber, so it could help you feel fuller for longer.
 Your body digests and absorbs jackfruit more slowly than some other foods. That means your blood sugar  won't rise as quickly as it might when you eat other fruits. One study found that jackfruit extract made it easier for people with diabetes to control their blood sugar.
While a jackfruit allergy is rare, you're at higher risk if you have a birch pollen allergy. This means that you have an itchy mouth or swollen lips when you eat other foods in this group such as apples, almonds, carrots, celery, cherries, and hazelnuts.
