6. Great Source of Magnesium
As we already mentioned, jackfruit is an incredible source of magnesium, which is a vital nutrient for bone structure. According to Dr. Axe, this is especially important for groups of people at a higher risk of having low magnesium levels, including women, the elderly, and African-Americans.
Since just one serving of jackfruit has 15% of the daily recommended intake of magnesium, and with all the added health benefits it provides, it’s a great snack for people with almost any medical condition.
