5. All of the Nutrients!

Jackfruit is loaded with nutrients, while also being low in calories (about 155 in a cup). According to Healthline, 92% of the calories are from carbs, and the rest from protein and fat. As for the nutrients, you name it and the jackfruit has got it!

A single cup of the fruit has 3 grams of protein, making it stand head-and-shoulders above a lot of other fruits, and making it ideal for people with vegan and vegetarian diets, as they often suffer from protein deficiency. Other than that, Healthline says that a single serving of jackfruit contains 3 grams of fiber, 10% of the RDI for vitamin A, 18% for vitamin C, 15% for magnesium, 11% for riboflavin, and 14% for potassium.
