  Resistant starch and Prebiotics

  According to an August 2013 study in the Food Chemistry Journal, jackfruit seeds are 92.8 to 94.5 percent starch. However, about 30 percent of the starch in jackfruit seeds is made up of resistant starch, which is much healthier than your average carbohydrate.

  The Food and Drug Administration explains that there are two main types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is a water-soluble fiber that is broken down when you eat foods that contain it. This type of fiber can help regulate your blood sugar and cholesterol.

  Insoluble fiber isn’t broken down, because it passes through your body intact. Insoluble fiber promotes the digestion of foods as they move through your gastrointestinal tract. Both of these types of fiber are essential for good gut health.

  Although soluble and insoluble fibers are important, there are other nutrients that can help support your gastrointestinal tract and overall health. Resistant starches are a less well-known type of fiber — specifically, a type of low-viscous fiber. This type of fiber can’t be digested by the small intestine and is slowly processed as it moves along your gastrointestinal tract.

  When you consume foods with resistant starches like the ones found in jackfruit seeds, the bacteria that live in your gastrointestinal tract can ferment these starches in your large intestine. When resistant starches are fermented, they produce short-chain fatty acids. These short-chain fatty acids can help stimulate blood flow in your colon and reduce the risk of colon cancer.

  Although resistant starches are less well-known compared to soluble and insoluble fiber, all three of these carbohydrates act as prebiotics. This means that all three of these nutrients can also improve the health of your gut microbiome.

  A healthy gut microbiome isn’t just good for your stomach, intestines, and colon; your gut is directly connected to your brain via a cranial nerve known as the vagus nerve. This means that consuming healthy foods like resistant starches can help improve the function of your immune system and prevent diseases that affect your central nervous system too.

  100+ years of expertise Our Jackfruit seeds milk powder sales support the traditional livelihoods of villagers in the dry regions of Sri Lanka where the jackfruit grows abundantly and is harvested by traditional regenerative methods. Allowing village populations to utilize their age-old knowledge and expertise to survive in this modernized and mechanized world of manufacture by producing this 100% natural unrefined product. Backed by generations of expertise of the harvesters, and packed in a certified ISO and Organic processing mill, this product plays a vital role in the employment, welfare, and wellbeing of the rural village community. The children of our workforce are provided with school books and stationery for the entire school year. The mill also organizes religious and cultural events to inculcate a sense of belonging to a bigger cause, bringing a sense of pride and community to the villagers who are using age-old knowledge, treading lightly, and making a living for their families, sustainably. 

  Price for quality Our products are not mass-produced in vast industrialised factories. So we do not enjoy the economies of scale that supermarket brands do. We pay the millers and farmers a fair price. Specifically, batch-crafted for New Zealand, Kokonati & Heirloom products are made with multigenerational expertise and knowledge to be the best quality they can be and so easily justify the premium price for the premium quality you are getting.

  Loyalty Just as we are fiercely loyal to the millers and families we work with, we also want to reward you, for your loyalty. So every time you purchase an Heirloom product you also collect rewards points that can be redeemed for a discount at checkout. Remember to sign up for the reward points (the tab on the far mid-right edge of this screen).

  Packaging and recycling 100g pouch. Dispose of the pouch in your kerbside recyclable collection bin. The reason we use a clear front window for this milk powder is so you can see the product before you try it.

  Possible precautions: Jackfruit seed is considered safe for most people. Certain people are allergic to it, especially those who are allergic to birch pollen. Moreover, due to its potential to lower blood sugar levels, individuals with diabetes may need to have their medication dosages changed if they eat this fruit on a regular basis. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider or registered dietitian to make sure it’s safe to consume it alongside, any prescription medication or for particular therapeutic uses.
