Rich in Nutrients: Tender jackfruit is known to have a higher nutrient density than apples and avocados. Also, a rich container of vitamin C, unripe jackfruit also stands out as one of the few fruits that boast high levels of B vitamins. Tender jackfruit also consists of potassium, magnesium, niacin, riboflavin, and folate.
Powerful Antioxidants: Tender jackfruit’s yellow pigments, known as carotenoids, contain ample amounts of vitamin A. These antioxidants play a vital role in preventing cellular damage and promoting overall physiological well-being. The presence of carotenoids in jackfruit provides potential protection against cancer, cardiovascular disease, and eye conditions that occur due to aging like macular degeneration and cataracts.
Aiding Weight Management: With its high fiber and water content, tender jackfruit provides a greater sense of satiety (fullness). Therefore Unripe jackfruit can be your perfect companion in your weight management journey by consuming less but feeling fuller for longer.
Heart health: Jackfruit consists of potassium, fiber, and antioxidants, which may reduce the risk of heart disease. Potassium also aids in regulating sodium in the body, which can damage the heart and arteries if unregulated.
Low Glycemic Option: Clinical trials have shown that unripe jackfruit has a significantly lower glycemic index (GI) & is high in fiber & proteins. This means that incorporating raw jackfruit into meals can help regulate blood sugar levels.
So order a packet of tender jackfruit vegetable from Mangoes and Barach Kahi to satisfy your healthy cravings & to enjoy the local Konkan flavor.
