Jackfruit offers a sweet, tropical flavor, similar to a mango or pineapple when ripe and can be eaten fresh, and used in fruit salads, smoothies or desserts. When unripe, it has a meaty texture that is perfect for vegans to use as a shredded meat (pulled pork) substitute in tacos, curries, stir-fries, sandwiches, or chilis. You can also cook and eat the seeds!
Jackfruit is high in Fiber, which aids digestion and feeds gut bacteria. It is also rich in Vitamins C & A, potassium, and antioxidants like beta-carotene. These can help to manage blood pressure, offer immune support, and support healthy cholesterol levels as well as healthy skin and hair!
