The flesh of a ripe jackfruit is sweet and fruity, with flavors that can resemble a mix of banana, pineapple, and mango. Jackfruit is rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin A, as well as potassium, fiber, and antioxidants. It also provides some protein and a moderate amount of carbohydrates.
