Jack fruit seeds and eggplant curry

When I started writing this recipe I was a little curious about jack fruit seeds calories and nutrient facts. It is 70Kcal/50gm and the nutrient factors are its is a rich source of vitamins like vitamin A, C and certain B vitamins, and minerals like calcium, zinc, and phosphorous. Jack fruit cultivation is pretty popular in most south part of India. My mom used to make a lot of dishes in jack fruit seeds. When I say seeds, remember this is Jack Fruit - the seeds are almost the size of orange slices! But, it tastes so good and I really miss them here in the US. My eldest sister made this recipe she sent me the picture and recipe of this dish. I don’t get jack fruit seeds here, I wish I can get some. Doesn’t the dish look delicious? If you live in a place where you can get jack fruit seeds try this recipe and let me know how you liked it.

Now this is not fair, I cannot get these seeds in the UK and I have been missing them from when I was in Kerala. Rest assured, if I ever do find them, I will be making this dish!

Hi Jenni, Where are you in UK? If you are in london visit tooting or croydon (Indian / Sri Lankan) grocery shop, you will be able to get fresh jack fruit seeds easily, most of the time they have it in stock.
Best of luck.

I would love to get the seeds too, but I am in the us and I don’t know where I can get them. I would also like to bring Jackfruit to the caribbean (my native place) We have something similar but is called breadfruit, it looks like it but we only eat the seeds. If you know of someone that can send me seeds please let me know. I will pay. Thanks
