Jackfruit – What it is and What You Can Do with It

July 28, 2019 By Tenterfield Health

Jackfruit – What it is and What You Can Do with It

The jackfruit plant is said to have originated in India, but it is also found in abundance in southeast Asia, the East Indies, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. When eaten ripe and raw, which is generally how it is consumed in its countries of origin, a jackfruit has a sweet taste, similar to that of a pineapple, mango or banana.

When it’s unripe, its taste is more neutral, like a potato and its unique flesh which can be shredded or pulled has an almost meat-like consistency.

Coronation Jackfruit Sandwiches

Coronation Chicken was a dish that was created for Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in England. This is a vegan version without the mayonnaise (or chicken), but the sauce is just as creamy and decadent! The jackfruit went perfectly with this rich and indulgent sauce.

Jackfruit is increasingly being used in other parts of the world, most notably the USA as a plant-based meat alternative. The young unripe Jackfruit flesh is quite versatile as it soaks up flavours well and the texture of the cooked jackfruit is akin to pulled pork or shredded chicken.

Coronation Chicken was a dish that was created for Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in England. This is a vegan version without the mayonnaise (or chicken), but the sauce is just as creamy and decadent! The jackfruit went perfectly with this rich and indulgent sauce.
