It’s god’s gift to vegan cooking. You can do so much with it. BBQ pulled jackfruit in particular is truly amazing stuff.

Me neither, and I just read this post. brb...

...okay, this is definitely weird, but possibly cool. From the Book of Wiki:

Ripe jackfruit is naturally sweet, with subtle flavoring. [10] It can be used to make a variety of dishes, including custards, cakes, or mixed with shaved ice as es teler in Indonesia or halo-halo in the Philippines. In India, when the jackfruit is in season, an ice cream chain store called “Naturals” carries jackfruit-flavored ice cream.

Ripe jackfruit arils are sometimes seeded, fried, or freeze-dried and sold as jackfruit chips.

The seeds from ripe fruits are edible; are said to have a milky, sweet taste often compared to Brazil nuts. They may be boiled, baked, or roasted. When roasted, the flavor of the seeds is comparable to chestnuts. Seeds are used as snacks (either by boiling or fire roasting) or to make desserts. For making the traditional breakfast dish in southern India, idlis , the fruit is used with rice as an ingredient and jackfruit leaves are used as a wrapping for steaming. Jackfruit dosas can be prepared by grinding jackfruit flesh along with the batter. They are quite commonly used in curry in the Indian state of Kerala and used in Dalema (traditional Odiya lentil and vegetable mix curry) in Odisha. In Java, the seeds are commonly cooked and seasoned with salt as a snack.

I’ve only had canned jackfruit. It was okay. Does it taste quite different not out of a can?

It’s good. Find an Asian or South American grocer near you, they’ll probably sell it.

I’ve only ever had it fresh. Most things are better fresh though so I would imagine it tastes different.

It’s actually easier to work with frozen, I’ve found.
