Description
Ready to cook tender jackfruit is one of the least known superfoods. It means many things to many people. A cup of raw jackfruit has less than half the calories of two rotis and is much lower than a cup of rice but offers higher satiation due to higher fiber and water content. So you end up satisfying your hunger longer with fewer calories and lose weight without feeling hungry at all.
Most people from the South love it as a fruit and its seed as a protein-rich nut. Unlike ripe jackfruit, raw jackfruit is great for diabetes. That means, when you replace a cup of rice or two rotis with a cup of raw jackfruit, your blood glucose will not increase as much. If you are taking medication for diabetes, you should consult your doctor. Clinical trials conducted at Sydney University’s Glycemic Index Research Service (SUGiRS) have found that raw jackfruit has a much lower glycemic load (increase in sugar/blood glucose level) than rice and wheat.
Ready to cook tender jackfruit has thick flesh around the seed just 2 to 4 days before it turns sweet. The percentage of soluble fiber in jackfruit reaches its peak at the raw jackfruit stage. Soluble fiber from fruits is the most superior quality and helps to remove cholesterol from your body.
