Jackfruit seeds are gathered from the ripe fruit, sun-dried and stored for use in rainy season in many parts of South Indian states. They are indeed very rich in protein and nutritious. The fresh seeds are rich in starch and low in calcium and iron but a good source of both vitamin B1 and vitamin B12. Whenever my dad bring the jackfruit, the fleshy part is my brother’s favourite and the seeds are my favourite. It has a mild sweetness and can be served hot as an evening snack with coffee or tea.
