Cooked Jackfruit Taste Like Meat?

[@-mycaribbeanlife9725]

About 4 years ago we bought a ripped one and loved it , I saved three seeds , went on you tube and research about Jack fruit as we just bought it out of curiosity , never had it before , and I found out that it is a good substitute for meat , we now have 3 trees growing in the backyard , plus a bread fruit which is from the same family .

[@ezzy3109]

How did you start your seeds? Also do you get any fruit? How long til you got fruit?

[@wendiland]

What a lovely story! Thank you for sharing! I haven’t had a chance to try bread fruit yet. Would love to one day!

@@ezzy3109 just burtied them in a flower pot , and then we transplanted into the ground in about three months , it might take at least 5 years for the tree to mature

Indonesian ppl having many recipe of young jack fruit. But most of them got boiled first then coconut milk added plus many spices, of course ... Hmmm ... So yummy ... The famous one known as #GUDEG, stewed until almost dried. But #RENDANG Spices can be added to that boiled young jack fruit ...

[@queenhyge9977]

We also have that in the Philippines 😊

[@Alainjaelani]

You need to boil it or steamed it first before you use it in your cookings to tenderize the texture.

[@becomingteila]

Or use a ripe one lol

[@ashleyreid4892]

How long do you boil it for before cooking it? I tried cooking it last night. It was very chewy. I hated it. I don’t think I boiled it for long enough. I did about 20 minutes but my pot was almost full. Thanks for your help!

[@Alainjaelani]

@@ashleyreid4892 We boil unripe peeled jackfruit for 50 to 60 minutes to get the tenderness

Hello Wendi. Asha here from Mauritius. Yes indeed I've so many recipes with raw jackfruit. Burgers are yummmmy. Make a bunch n freeze. Tc. Happy cooking.

[@berenicesansone482]

Busgeeth Asha , I have never made it but I have ate it. I saw it at the grocery store, and didn't know which one to pick. To make the white part into meat, should it be unripped then? I suppose the yellow colors indicates is more ripe? Also you said it can be frozen. I meal prep so I like to make large quantities and freeze. Does the texture changes if frozen and put in microwave? Thanks in advance

[@salimacarter5061]

Hi, can you please share your burger recipe? Thanks

THE BEST PART IS THE ACTUAL FRUIT. WHEN IT IS RIPE, IT IS JUST HEAVEN. I EAT THE FRUIT AND EAT THE THREADS AS MEAT IN TACOS, BIRRIA O POZOLE. JAMAICA FLOWER WOULD DO THE JOB TOO. 🍋🍍🍌🍠🍍🍌🍠🍋🍌🍍🍌🍠🍠🍋🍌🍋🍠🍋🍌🍠🍠🍋🍌🍌🍍🍍🍌

[@berenicesansone482]

I see some people put it in the oven to get it to soften. I wonder if a pressure cook will work

[@elkinvigilant9880]

It's your first time,but you made your prensation so simple,I'm going to try your method. I grow this fruit but iI only use it in smothies. Thanks now I learn.

[@elizabethdelossantos8787]

Notice first dish - you kept seeds in….have read mixed recipes about removing seeds. What are your thoughts?

[@sooorandom6792]

What about the ripened jackfruit, can I still use the strands for cooking? I have a ripened fruit and want to use as much of its parts as possible.

[@yellyukulelly7334]

That plate presentation makes the dish look extremely delicious. :)

[@wendiland]

Haha We make food for the eyes and mouth to experience.

[@Annasimpsonnyc]

This is Great!! Love working with natural unprocessed meat subs.. thanks for your experiment ❤

[@BrightsideBLVD]

At 5:03 the jackfruit she is turning looks like a face

[@feliciaf.1872]

Yes! It looks like an antique photo lol 😂

[@azuregiant9258]

I noticed too!

[@francinedelery8758]

She left the seeds in there🤔

[@-logic6654]

It’s edible when they’re young😋. It will just be like a soft kinda boiled egg-white thingy(🥸 not exactly like egg, but that’s the closest i can describe it as something).

[@watsonmelis7981]

Just had my first Jackfruit meal.....tex mex jackfruit...impressive....I like....thanks for the great video

[@heathercommonsense377]

Thank you for the video! Well done! I am interested in the spices you used and plan to use them as well.

[@Remy-dl6nc]

My Question is how unriped does the jack fruit have to be. This is very interesting. also do you know how to preserve unripped jack fruit? I am also interested in this method as well. if you can do a video on this. Thank you.

[@roseblossom5401]

Do u make it with the seeds?

[@redrobiin]

Bought 2 Jackfruit, one in syrup and the other in brine, the one in brine strangly tasted like meat chunks and tastless. Looking for ideas how to cook it.

[@wendiland]

Treat it like meat, or faux meat. You can marinade, cook in sauce. Taste is so neutral it will take onto any flavor you add. Have fun!

[@binagarten4667]

What a lovely explanation, considering you used it for the first time. It inspires me.

[@wendiland]

thank you :) I love using ingredients I’ve never made with.

[@racquelrobinson3030]

So everything except the centre can be eaten?

[@mamabearC879]

Thank you.

[@susangarcia6233]

Just LOVE, LOVE your videos! Why does your aunt speak Cantonese or ask about it? I thought your family line was Vietnamese. Just curious on the linguistic side, that's all, as I am a student of languages, too, and have studied a bit of Mandarin. All blessings & thank you for the work that you do! This dish looks like it needs some SHROOMS! Either shiitake or straw mushrooms.

[@wendiland]

Chinese born in Vietnam. :)

[@wendiland]

Mushroom would be goo with it. I made this video with anything that was available at home.

[@seemabhatia656]

Hi can you please share where you bought this precut raw jackfruit from ? which supermarkets in los angeles might be selling this?

[@wendiland]

This video was made in Vietnam. I can only find canned immature jackfruits in LA.

[@seemabhatia656]

@@wendiland you are right. One time I picked the fresh fruit from market (Superking) as the staff told me that it was raw. so i picked two - one was raw and other was in the early stage of ripening. i really wish they start selling raw jackfruit here

[@St0N3RZoMBiE]

Also how do you grow a jackfruit ?

[@srirammanojk]

It grows on the JackFruit plant.

[@St0N3RZoMBiE]

Are the luffa seeds still available ???

[@Yoyoyoyoasshole]

The seeds can even be roasted, steamed, and boiled too. The only thing you can’t eat is the spiny skin.

[@OJON13]

I dont cook. But we eat a lot of jackfruit. So this video called my atention. Now is 2024. And if you look on 5:02 of thw video. I can almost swear i see ab lincoln. On the seed. Is so cool i had to make a comment.

its jackfruit jack fruit. its not vegan meat vegans please stop the tofurky or the beyound meat. face it your food sucks , soy bean water isnt milk. meat eaters love fruits and veggies but we call food what it is. food= meat dairy eggs , fruits. rat rodent animal food= veggies, gardens, weeds, grains. all food yes but food for animals of lower origin. survival time food.

[@PUXXYCAAT]

leviathan rising meat doesn’t mean animal flesh. Fruits have meat

[@TheToshirox]

@leviathan rising This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever read

[@Emerald1dx3]

Leviathan rising why not STFU and give us a break. Many eat no meat for the health benefit and because we don't want to eat dead animals. Who the FUCK cares what we call it except people like you and your negative toxic comments, If you don't live the life style then maybe you don't need to get any answers here and need to stay in your own lane and eat your dead mutilated animals. Why comment at all . JUST to stir the pot and show your ignorance I guess,

[@TacosOfInjustice]

If vegans want everything to "taste just like meat" then their body is obviously craving meat and they're likely deficient in a vitamin that meat has.
