Jackfruits are called super-foods because of the number of antioxidants that it contains. Most people think eating jackfruit is a big taboo for diabetics. It is wrong, as fruits contain fructose, that doesn't spike your sugar levels, as long as you eat anything in a small quantity. Jackfruit are also rich in fiber,another reason why it won't spike your sugar levels. Not sure, how many of you know that jackfruit flour is available in the market and also in Amazon. I've used the flour along with whole wheat flour when I used to make roti/ parathas. I also used it to make kanji/ porridge with oats, ragi, jackfruit flour with jaggery, as jaggery is rich in iron, good for health, better than white sugar.
