3. May Help Fight Cancer

to research by Penn State University, jackfruits are rich in cancer-fighting phytonutrients, which “can neutralize the free radicals, which helps fight some forms of cancer and can give the immune system the support it needs to continue to manage it.”

Another 2012 study published in the journal Carcinogenesis also found that vitamin C in jackfruit can boost the activity “of an important antioxidant enzyme that helps prevent breast cancer.”
