It's a fruit that grows seasonal here in Jamaica it's as a pinkish ,red outer part ,but that part is not the delicious fruit but when it opens you will see a yellow like fruit inside with a black seed on the top . To me it kinda looks like a man dwl. It has many health benefits and uses .Digestive Problems

The ackee fruit is rich in fiber, which can help regulate bowel elimination by adding bulk to your stool and and helping quick passing of stool through your intestine . Fiber can also help lower your risk of bloating, cramping, constipation and inflammation of the colon. It may also help reduce bad cholesterol levels, thereby helping boost heart health.

• Blood Pressure

Ackee is rich in potassium, which is a known vasodilator. It works by opening up (dilating) your blood vessels so that your cardiovascular system will not work too hard. This can help reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and damage to your blood vessels.

• Blood Circulation

Aside from helping lowering blood pressure, ackee can help improve your blood circulation. It is rich in iron, which is crucial because it helps deliver oxygen efficiently around your body. The iron content may help with the symptoms of anemia as well, such as weakness, lightheadedness and cognitive issues.

• Immune System

Aside from cooking, one of the original uses of ackee is to help alleviate common illnesses. It happens to be a great source of vitamin C, a nutrient that can help boost your immune system, which helps protect your body from various diseases.
