Jackfruit Land

Jackfruit is an extremely versatile fruit, as well as salty dishes can be made with green fruit, ripe fruit can be consumed as fresh fruit, used in smoothies, desserts, smoothies, etc. The flavor of the ripe fruit is similar to mango, combined with banana and pineapple. There are various studies that reveal the nutritional and medicinal properties of jackfruit.

The fruit contains vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, and zinc, among many other nutrients.  Jackfruit has a low calorie content: 100 g of jackfruit only contains 94 calories.

It is a rich source of potassium with 609 mg for every 30g of jackfruit meat.  Studies show that potassium-rich foods help lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health, and promote proper muscle function.

Another benefit of eating jackfruit is that it is a good source of vitamin C. Which is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body against free radicals, strengthens the immune system, and promotes iron absorption.

It also contains phytonutrients: lignans, isoflavones and saponins that have very varied health benefits.  These phytonutrients have anti-cancer, antihypertensive, antiulcer, and anti-aging properties.  The phytonutrients found in jackfruit can prevent cancer cells from forming in the body, lower
blood pressure, fight stomach ulcers, and slow the degeneration of cells that make skin look youthful.  Jackfruit also contains niacin which is known as
vitamin B3 and is necessary for energy metabolism, nerve function, and the
synthesis of certain hormones.

It contains many carotenoids such as β-carotene, which is an important antioxidant for human health.  Carotenoids can be important for the prevention of various chronic degenerative diseases, such as cancer, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration.  The carotenoids present in jackfruit are;  translutein (24% to 44%), β-carotene (24% to 30%), neoxanthin (4% to 19%), 9-cis-neoxanthin (4% to 9%), and 9-cis -violaxanthin (4% to 10%).

Jackfruit also contains a good amount of dietary fiber, a fundamental component for the proper functioning of the digestive system and found only in foods of plant origin.  Some of the benefits of fiber consumption are to lower blood glucose and cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of heart disease, reduce constipation problems, avoid the risk of obesity, colon and rectal
cancer, hiatal hernia, hemorrhoids and appendicitis, among others.

On the other hand, the seeds, due to their characteristics, have been used in traditional Chinese medicine as a natural aphrodisiac.  They are a source of nutrients like potassium, calcium, iron and are a great source of protein.  All of this can help prevent premature ejaculation, increase libido, and prevent erectile dysfunction.

In addition to all this, jackfruit contains all 9 essential amino acids including lysine, which is not very abundant in vegan protein sources, so this
fruit can be considered a complete protein source.  The body needs protein to build muscle, repair tissue, produce enzymes, hormones, and other important biochemical processes.  Plant-based proteins offer to be lower in calories and saturated fat than control the heart, are easier to digest and are free of antibiotics and harmful bacteria.

The name "jackfruit" comes from the name Chakka in Malayalam.  Chakka comes from "Che-Kai" which means a group of
green fruits (Kai) together.  A fruit group is determined since a jackfruit in a tree has many other jackfruits attached to the core.  The name changes to idi-chakka once the jackfruit is soft and to chakka-pazham once
it is considered a fruit.

The name "chakka" is not for ripe fruit, but for green fruit.  "Kai" means green fruit and ancient Ayurvedic literature indicates that jackfruit should be consumed in a state prior to ripening as it is considered richer in nutrients.

The biological name of the jackfruit is "Artocarpus". Artos means therapeutic bread and carpus means fruit.  This means that jackfruit in ancient times was consumed as a nutrient-rich fruit and as a therapeutic food.

Our jackfruit meat is dehydrated in a state before its maturity, and

This is why its flavor is neutral and can be added to any stew without altering the flavor.  We dehydrate it at low temperatures to preserve all its nutrients.

We have found a way to create a 100% natural product free of additives or chemicals and without any type of preservative as are all canned products, thus preserving the nutrients and unique flavor of our Jackfruit, a gift that the earth has for you.

As jackfruit is a fruit that comes from a tree, hundreds of them have been
planted to obtain it, and this has contributed to improving air quality by
generating oxygen. Just as an ecosystem is generated in which different species
coexist.

Another advantage of fruit trees is that they absorb carbon dioxide, this is
extremely important since CO2 is the second greenhouse gas that causes global
warming.

Also, they help to regulate the temperature and are of utmost importance in the
water cycle, as well as to avoid floods, since they absorb rainwater that has
pollutants and dampens soil erosion.

We are committed to caring for the environment and we make sure to deliver a
product that contributes to the conservation of species and the protection of
animals. Every year 53 billion farm animals die for human consumption and at
the same time, 150 species of wild animals die each day.

Because livestock is the main cause of deforestation, it is the activity with
the greatest impact on the environment. This represents almost 30% of the
habitable land area according to the FAO, and 70% of agricultural soils are
used for the production of pastures for livestock.
