A small piece of jackfruit turns into a variety of dishes for lunch. Go along with rice. I prefer to skip rice today. Jackfruit is the State tree of Kerala. It’s is jackfruit season. The preparation of the jackfruit to culinary purpose is hectic. But the nutritive value is great. High in protein, low in calories, boosts immunity, good for heart health, rich in vitamin C, potassium, dietary fibre and some other essential vitamins and minerals. No doubt jackfruit is one of the superfoods.
