Jackfruit is the national fruit of Bangladesh and one of the largest fruits in the world. Just as the sweet flesh of ripe jackfruit is a favorite food, so is the curry made from raw jackfruit a popular dish in rural Bengal. Once the jackfruit tree grows, it yields year after year, so it is also important for farmers as a long-term investment.
Nutritional values and benefits:
Jackfruit contains a lot of energy, fiber, vitamin C and potassium. The antioxidants it contains increase the body's immunity, and due to its high fiber content, it is also helpful in digestion. The seeds are also rich in protein, so they are cooked separately and eaten.
Cultivation method in brief:
Jackfruit trees mainly grow well in high, waterlogged loamy soil. Fruiting begins within 4-5 years of planting, and a mature tree can produce many fruits a year. Although special care is not required, regular fertilization and pruning of branches help increase yield.
Economic Importance: Jackfruit is a good source of additional income in the rural economy, especially for small farmers as it can be cultivated in small areas around the homestead.
