Benefits of Jackfruit
Contains vitamins A and C, B1, B2 and B3, magnesium, calcium, potassium (303mg/100g), iron, zinc, folic acid and fibre.
In its slightly unripe form, the fruit has a fibrous texture similar to certain meats. It has no real flavour of its own, so its neutral taste ensures that it can be used as an excellent meat substitute. It can be flavoured in any way.
Meat-free cuisine lovers also use the fibrous-fibrous fruit as vegan "pulled pork".
As far as uses go, the sky's the limit. We recommend jackfruit instead of meat, steamed, grilled, in soups, casseroles or even raw. For a 'pulled pork'-like texture, it is first picked into strands and marinated.
