1. Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

Low on the glycemic index (GI), jackfruit is perfect for those worried about high blood sugar. This is thanks to its high fiber content, which basically ensures that is digested slowly and therefore prevents blood sugar spikes. According to Healthline. “Diets that include lots of low-GI foods have been shown to be helpful for promoting blood sugar control.”

Providing a further benefit to diabetic patients, jackfruit also contains a protein that has been proven to help control blood sugar. Healthline even cites studies that found jackfruit leaf extract to improve blood sugar levels in adults in one study and diabetic mice in another.
