Jackfruit seed milk powder lactose-free & gluten-free, with a low glycemic index – 100 g

Dried milk of jackfruit seeds

Plant-based alternative with low glycaemic index

Discover Jackfruit Seed Vegetable Milk Powder - a unique plant-based milk alternative with a subtly nutty and naturally sweet taste. This nutritious superfood powder is ideal for vegans, diabetics and anyone looking for a healthier alternative to conventional grain products.

Made from the seeds of the jackfruit, one of the largest fruits in the world, prized not only for its sweet, meaty flesh but also for its nutritious seeds. Jackfruit is a traditional crop of tropical Asia, especially in India, Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, where its seeds have been used for generations as a nutritious source of protein and energy.

In Sri Lanka, jackfruit is known as 'kos' and has historical significance - it served as a staple food during times of famine, providing long-lasting satiety and important nutrients. Today, its use is increasingly widespread, not only in traditional curries and soups, but also in modern vegetable products.

Processing jackfruit seeds is also environmentally friendly and sustainable - most people only consume the flesh, so the seeds often end up as waste. The production of this powder minimizes food waste and makes efficient use of the whole plant, contributing to a lower ecological burden and a sustainable food system.

This powdered milk is therefore not only rich in fibre, vegetable protein and minerals, but also refers to the long history of sustainable use of jackfruit. It is lactose and gluten free and has a low glycaemic index, which means it helps maintain stable blood sugar levels - an ideal choice for vegans, diabetics and anyone with a healthy and eco-friendly diet.

Jackfruit porridge - a healthier alternative to semolina porridge

Classic semolina porridge is made from white wheat flour, which:

• It is not certified organic - which means it may contain residues of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals.
• It has a high glycaemic index - it rapidly raises blood sugar levels, leading to energy spikes.
• It contains less fibre and micronutrients - it is nutritionally poorer than natural alternatives.

On the contrary, jackfruit puree is:

• Nutritionally richer - naturally contains more fibre, vegetable protein and minerals.
• Gentle on digestion - it is gluten-free, so it does not burden the intestines.
• Low-glycaemic - does not cause sharp fluctuations in blood sugar.

The huge nutritional potential of breadfruit seeds - a study

Although breadfruit seeds have been shown to contain a number of beneficial nutrients or bioactive compounds that add real value to food, they remain under-utilised due to the limited commercial production of breadfruit.

They contain a wide range of nutrient-rich ingredients such as starch, fibre, phytonutrients, protein, minerals, lectins and also beneficial ingredients such as phenols and flavonoids.

This review focuses on important findings regarding starch extraction techniques and various conventional and new modification techniques and their effect on the functional properties of breadfruit seeds.

Breadfruit seeds are mainly rich in starch (70-85 %), which is used in food and other areas as a thickener, stabiliser, microencapsulant, coagulant, bioplastic, etc. and provides significant health benefits.

The usefulness of starch from breadfruit seeds is also well known. The processing of breadfruit seeds using various techniques to achieve versatile nutritional and functional components has a significant impact.

The creation of composite films, starch, food products, bioethanol, pigments and medical applications are key areas of ongoing study.

This article is based on an analysis of more than 150 scientific publications, including recent studies by various researchers, with the main focus on the properties of breadfruit seeds.

What is a heirloom variety?

A so-called heirloom variety (whether of plants, seeds, fruits or vegetables) is an open-pollinated variety that was commonly cultivated in earlier times in human history, but is not used in modern large-scale agriculture because of the cartel-like behavior of a large corporation like Monsanto, which is behind the destruction of ancient seeds and the food chain in general across the planet.

See the document below. And here is a link to the website of a Canadian university, The University of British Columbia, which explains briefly what it is. If you do not speak English, use the online translator: deepl.com

We have translated this paragraph from the English Wikipedia:

Before the industrialisation of agriculture, a much wider variety of plant foods were grown for human consumption, mainly because farmers and gardeners saved seeds and cuttings for future planting. From the 16th century to the early 20th century, the diversity was enormous.

The old nursery catalogues were full of plums, peaches, pears and apples of many varieties and the seed catalogues offered legions of vegetable varieties. These catalogues were used to sell and trade valuable and carefully selected seeds along with useful advice on growing.

Since the Second World War, agriculture in the industrialised world has consisted mainly of food crops grown on large monoculture plots. Only a few varieties of each type of crop are grown to achieve the greatest consistency.

These varieties are often selected for their productivity and their ability to ripen at the same time and withstand mechanical harvesting and transport across borders, as well as their resistance to drought, frost or pesticides. This form of agriculture has led to a 75% decline in the genetic diversity of crops.

Although heirloom or heirloom cultivation has retained its place in local communities, it has seen a resurgence in recent years in response to the trend towards industrial agriculture. In the southern hemisphere, heirloom plants are still widely cultivated, for example in home gardens in South and Southeast Asia.

Before the Second World War, most of the products grown in the United States were heirloom varieties, but this was abandoned with the arrival of Monsanto.

• The Guardian:Revealed: Monsanto predicted cropping system will damage US farms

In the 21st century, many communities around the world are working to preserve historic varieties so that a wide range of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers are once again available to growers by restoring old orchards, sourcing historic fruit varieties, engaging in seed swaps and encouraging community participation.

Ceylon Kokonati uses only single origin, ethically harvested non GMO ingredients for their products. Their products are vegan, gluten-free, suitable for keto, paleo and raw diets. They do not contain any refined white sugar.

By buying them, you support traditional livelihoods and reduce your carbon footprint - because the products are produced and packaged right at the harvest site. Ceylon Kokonati strives for 100% zero waste production.

This product is internationally accredited by Control Union, certified organic (EU and USDA NOP), ISO and/or HACCP certified.

Ceylon Kokonati manufactures its products in a family-run sweatshop, pays fair prices to its suppliers and manufacturers, and incorporates generations of knowledge into its production processes. It uses only the highest quality ingredients.

So you can be sure that you are getting premium quality at a premium price. By purchasing products, you will be supporting the traditional livelihoods of villagers in the dry areas of Sri Lanka. This allows the villagers to benefit from their years of knowledge and expertise.

The sale of these products plays a vital role in employment and economic support for the village community. Ceylon Kokonati provides the children of its employees with school books and stationery for the entire school year.

What is single origin or "single origin"?

This claim means that the raw material comes from one geographical area(as opposed to raw materials taken from several countries around the world and then mixed together = a common practice for cheap products from so-called private labels).

None of Ceylon Kokonati's products is a so-called blend of several different ingredients from different parts of the world, bought at the cheapest prices. In English it is called'not blended'.

The fact that Ceylon Kokonati's ingredients/products are "single origin" from Sri Lanka only, means that the consumer's taste buds have a more consistent and higher quality experience, from batch to batch.

It is almost impossible to achieve an absolutely consistent taste without losing the natural flavour of the raw material. This is especially the case when the raw material for the production of a product is sourced from different places and of different quality.

In addition, you have no guarantee that it is really a pure and freshly produced product in organic quality.
