Abstract
Arthocarpus communis commonly called jackfruit, Nagka or ‘Bread of the tropics’ is the largest edible fruit known (up to 40 kg) on earth. It grows rapidly in the tropics and spread across diverse vegetational and climatic belts. In cross river state, Nigeria, the tree is relatively unknown and thus avoided by many inhabitants. The bread of the tropics is heavily endowed with high starch, protein, minerals, nutritional and medicinal contents especially, vitamins C, E and K and has been widely used in the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery amongst children. The fruit can be adequately metabolically engineered as an edible vaccine for the treatment of many nutritional and medical disorders. For now, it lacks market value because of ignorance and unpopularity in this area. Hence, this paper provides an insight into the usefulness, nutritional and medicinal values of this relatively unknown bread of the tropics as invaluable plant edible vaccines.Biography
