In North America, Jackfruit has exploded in popularity in the last few years because of its versatility and use a a plant-based meat. It is a rare fruit that can be a healthy vegetarian substitute for meat such as pulled pork, and it can also be added to smoothies and other tropical fruit dishes. Fresh, ripe, uncooked Jackfruit has a delightfully sweet, tropical flavor, like a combination of pineapple, mango, and melon. Some people even say it tastes similar to Juicy Fruit chewing gum.
When used for savory dishes such as pulled pork, the fruit is typically underripe and a bit more firm, giving it a meatier texture. Jackfruit is rich in vitamins and fiber. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the combination of potassium, fiber, and antioxidants in jackfruit can benefit heart health and decrease inflammation in the body.
