Hi dears
Jackfruit flesh is eaten widely, it’s also possible to consume jackfruit seeds. These seeds are primarily made of starch, but also contain essential vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants. Jackfruit seeds are even richer in certain nutrients compared to jackfruit flesh.
Jackfruit is a very large fruit that resembles a durian. The meat of this fruit has become increasingly popular as a vegan replacement for pork.
Most people buy canned jackfruit, because this fruit is notoriously difficult to prepare as a fresh product. If you’ve ended up with a whole jackfruit, you’ll find that there are a substantial amount of seeds in this fruit. There are between 100 and 500 seeds in each fruit.
Although jackfruit seeds are encased in hard shells, you can roast, boil or steam this part of the jackfruit and eat it too. Cooking your seeds is essential, because they can go bad very quickly once extracted from the fruit.
You should not eat seeds raw because they contain anti-nutrients like lectins and trypsin inhibitors that can make you sick. These anti-nutrients are found in other foods as well, and aren’t particularly harmful — they will go away as soon as your jackfruit seeds have been cooked
