Hi Wait.... Don't Throw Away These Seeds!
Yes, It's the Jackfruit' season everywhere now, mainly here in India for us... :) But many of us, even me ;)..., after eating the pulp, never mind throwing away the seeds!!.
A recent article in a local news paper grabbed my attention to this point that these seeds are a rich source of Vitamin, Iron and other vital micronutrients and are even being used in the making of baby foods!!.
Then I started recollecting the memories of my childhood. Yes!, my Mom and my Grandma were not throwing away these seeds and they used to make an upma with it, which we children used to like... They were also mixing it with other veggies while making different curries!!.
So after reading that article, I too started keeping the seeds after cleaning them properly for preserving... :).
Now let's have a talk about the goodness of these seeds...
(I am only writing a few main things I came to know from my Mom and from web. But actually these seeds are a source of innumerable good qualities...)
It's a rich source of Iron, Protein and Vitamin A, and can help in curing Cataract!
It can help in curing Mental stress.
It helps to prevent Anaemia.
Prevents indigestion, and can be used to treat constipation.
Helpful in building muscles, because of high protein factor.
It boosts energy and helps to keep healthy eye sight!
It's good for the health of hair, skin and can be used in face packs!
So my dear Friends, When you bring Jackfruit next time, after eating the pulp, please don't throw away the seeds. Instead keep them cleanig properly, and use them in your food in some way.
With much love and regards from Mangalore, @geetharao...
