Jackfruit, known locally as Kathal, is a tropical powerhouse packed with natural sweetness and remarkable nutritional density. This large, spiky fruit delivers creamy, fibrous flesh that works beautifully in both sweet and savory applications. Rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, jackfruit supports digestive health and immune function. Its versatility shines whether enjoyed fresh, ripened to golden perfection, or incorporated into curries and traditional preparations. The meat-like texture of unripe jackfruit makes it an excellent plant-based protein alternative for contemporary cooking. Select firm fruits with a fragrant aroma for optimal flavor and quality.
