Young Jackfruit canned

Jacky F. Young jackfruit: a convenient and innovative meat substitute

Jackfruit is the new tofu! The flesh of this Sri Lankan fruit has a natural, meaty texture reminiscent of chicken. It has a neutral taste but easily absorbs all the flavours of spices or marinades, so you can season jackfruit as you like and use it in numerous dishes. 

Young jackfruit has been picked before it started to produce natural fruit sugars. It is therefore ideal for savoury dishes.
Ripe or yellow jackfruit is sweet and is eaten as a snack or incorporated into desserts.

Young jackfruit is high in fibre, low in calories and contains almost no fat. All the more reason to 'jackfruit' your meals!

Canned young jackfruit ideal for pulled jackfruit

Jackfruit can become very big and can weigh up to 55 kg. It's quite a job to get the greenish brown pointed skin off. That's why jackfruit is usually eaten from a can. 

Pour the jackfruit into a sieve and rinse well with water. Then gently press the excess water out of the jackfruit pieces with your hands and marinate or season as desired.

Jackfruit is currently very popular as pulled jackfruit or the vegetarian version of pulled pork. After rinsing, you can pull the jackfruit apart with your hands or two forks. You can also fry jackfruit directly in a pan or add it to a curry, oven dish and so on.
