Jackfruit Benefits and Cautions
Jackfruit is a tropical fruit that can be enjoyed in sweet and savory dishes. It’s also very healthy, loaded with nutrients that can help fight cancer, heart disease, and more. Don’t eat it if you’re allergic to birch or latex, as this raises your risk for a jackfruit allergy. Talk to your doctor about eating jackfruit if you have a problem with your kidneys.
