There’s a lot of controversy over so-called “antinutrients” and whether or not they’re good for you. But researchers have found they serve a protective purpose for plants — and people.
Jacalin, a lectin found in jackfruit flesh and seeds, may be particularly beneficial for the immune system and staving off cancer. One study tested jackfruit’s phytochemical activity against human colon cancer cells. The study’s findings showed that jackfruit had an impact on both normal and cancerous cells, mainly through its impact on the immune system and its antioxidant activity.
Another study took this evidence further by demonstrating jacalin’s ability to modulate macrophages (an important type of white blood cell), effectively initiating the elimination of tumors in the body.
Saponins can also stop cancer cells from replicating. In one study, 35 mg/mL of jackfruit seed extract showed evidence of angiogenesis prevention, stopping the creation of new blood cells in tumors.
While jackfruit is a sustainable food choice in Southeast Asian countries, the sustainability of jackfruit is more complex in the US, Canada, and Europe because of transportation. While some jackfruit is grown in Hawaii, Florida, and Mexico, the majority of jackfruit in North America and Europe is imported from India, Vietnam, and Thailand.
Shipping jackfruit long distances involves significant food miles, contributing to carbon emissions and energy consumption. This diminishes some of the environmental benefits.
However, researchers also tell us that when foods are shipped, the carbon footprint of the shipping, while real, is less significant than the carbon footprint of packaging or of the food itself. In other words, from a climate change perspective, it’s probably much better to eat jackfruit from the other side of the world than beef from next door.
Jackfruit is a very good fruit and has many benefits for us. Eating jackfruit has many benefits for the body
