The monsoons are here and we’re loving the sight of jackfruit everywhere! Besides being absolutely delicious and juicy, the fruit’s yellow pods and seeds are known to be full of nutrients. Don’t believe us? Here are a few reasons why we will be seen consuming a lot of it this season.
Boosts energy levels
If you find yourself energy-sapped every now and then, you need a dose of jackfruit! These fruits contain healthy amounts of simple sugars like fructose and sucrose that are easily digested by the body. This provides an immediate rush of energy to your system. The good news is that jackfruit contains no saturated fat or cholesterol—something that makes it even healthier.
Improves digestion
Jackfruit, very visibly, contains a lot of soft fiber. Dietary fiber makes for a good laxative, which means it adds bulk to your stools thereby improving your system’s digestion. This implies that jackfruits keep the gastrointestinal tract clean and healthy.
Strengthens bones
Did you know that eating jackfruit ensures that your bones are healthy? Well, this super fruit contains high amounts of calcium that keeps our bones strong and stronger bones equals a delay in the onset of osteoarthritis. Moreover, jackfruit also increases bone density by reducing the calcium loss because of its potassium content.
Promotes eye health
Jackfruit contains beta carotene, which gets synthesized and converts itself into Vitamin A. This nutrient is highly imperative for eye health, especially in the monsoons when our eyes are susceptible to several infections. It works as an antioxidant that protects the eyes from bacterial infections.

I have this superpower of buying everything and anything related to cats because I strongly believe that cats are greater than human beings. Amidst all of these thoughts, I take time out to write about food, fitness and beauty - something that makes my job so much fun!
