Jackfruit Seed Flour

Jackfruit Seed Powder is a nutrient rich superfood made from the seeds of organically grown jackfruits. Jackfruit trees are grown in farms, free from synthetic pesticides, herbicides,and fertilizers.  Jackfruit seed powder is made by grinding dried jackfruit seeds into a fine powder. Jackfruit seeds are often discarded, but they can be a valuable source of nutrition and have various culinary and medicinal uses. Jackfruit seed powder is rich in nutrients such as protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Jackfruit Seed Powder: From Seed to Shelf

1. Clean & Sort: Remove impurities and separate seeds by quality.
2. Dry Thoroughly: Remove moisture to prevent spoilage (sun, oven, dehydrator).
3. Grind Fine: Break down seeds into powder using milling equipment.
4. Sift for Smoothness: Remove impurities and ensure consistent texture.
5. Pack & Preserve: Seal in airtight containers with clear labeling.

It is important to ensure that the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture and air from entering, which can cause the powder to degrade more quickly.

If stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, jackfruit seed powder can typically maintain its quality for up to 1 to 2 years.

Jackfruit has an impressive nutrition profile.

It contains a moderate amount of calories, providing 155 in a one-cup (165-gram) serving. Approximately 92% of the calories come from carbs, while the rest come from protein and a small amount of fat.

What makes jackfruit unique from other fruits is its protein content. It provides more than 3 grams of protein per cup, compared to 0–1 grams in other similar types of fruit, such as apples and mangoes.

Jackfruit is also rich in several types of antioxidants, which are likely responsible for the majority of its health benefits 

Furthermore, jackfruit contains some of almost every vitamin and mineral that you need, as well as a decent amount of fiber.

Latex Allergy: Individuals allergic to latex may experience cross-reactivity with jackfruit, leading to severe reactions.

Pollen Allergy: Some with pollen allergies (like birch pollen) might experience mild mouth or throat irritation (Oral Allergy Syndrome) when eating raw jackfruit. Cooking can reduce this.
