In Southeast Asia, a type of fruit is used as a substitute for red meat, namely the “jackfruit” fruit, which is similar in texture to chicken. This type of fruit is used in dishes that contain meat to turn it into vegetarian.
Jackfruit may weigh up to 35 kilograms and are used unripe in cooking dishes . Jackfruit carries a number of health benefits for the body, especially as it is rich in dietary fiber and a number of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin “A”, vitamin “B”, magnesium and potassium. Eating this fruit enhances the work of the immune system and protects the heart from damage. Also, eating this fruit helps to regulate the level of sugar in the blood.
