Opportunity Crops: Jackfruit

🍈 Did you know jackfruit can weigh up to 55 kg and grow nearly a meter long? Packed with fiber, protein, vitamins A & C, and magnesium, it’s a popular meat substitute. Enjoy it fresh, cooked, or processed - even the seeds are edible! A single tree can produce up to 200 fruits a year, and its wood is used for furniture, instruments, homes, and temples. Jackfruit is the national fruit of Bangladesh and a state fruit in parts of India. Despite its benefits, it remains underutilized; however, this giant fruit is making a comeback as a nutritious, climate-smart opportunity crop. #Jackfruit #OpportunityCrops #FoodSecurity #BOLDProject
