JACKFRUIT SEEDS' HEALTH BENEFITS 

Jackfruit seeds are often overlooked, but they are packed with health benefits.

• good source of protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus
• Boosts Immunity
• Aids Digestion
• Promotes Heart Health
• Helps Control Blood Sugar
• Promotes Skin Health
• Strengthens Bones
• Aids in Weight Loss

CRUSH THE SEED WELL BEFORE COOKING

Always crush the palakottai well and remove the outer white shell. You can cook the seeds with brown skin.

How to remove the outer shell

If the shell is properly dried it comes off easily. You can microwave for a few minutes to remove it. I sometimes use a sharp knife to remove the skin.

ALWAYS pressure COOK JACKFRUIT SEEDS

Jackfruit seeds are dense and hard, and they require a longer cooking time compared to other vegetables. Use a pressure cooker or instant pot to cook. Avoid open-pot cooking.  Also, avoid adding salt for proper cooking.

COOKING OIL FOR PORIYAL?

I would recommend coconut oil for vegan coconut-based Indian poriyal. You can add any oil of your choice.
