One of The World's Largest Fruits (Here's How to Eat It!) Jackfruit is Amazing

[@dennisolive4741]

Hi Joel, Dennis here from Bali. I really liked your description of using Jackfruit. I didn’t know about the seeds. You did mention that the green fruit can be used in curries. You should have given a little more description of it. It is more like a starch, similar to potato. I love it that way too. I just watched your video on the coldest place too, very beautiful. I think when you do the live show, it would be nice to stay on a central theme, so it doesn’t get so scattered. Just a suggestion. I really like your work. It’s getting better all time. It’s really nice you have Li give so much input too. Peace man, Dennis

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Hi Dennis! Thank you so much, yeah I am REALLY enjoying the livestreams, and really cool to see people getting a lot out of them. Very special for me! The content though, I let people add their thoughts, so after the first 2-3 hours its... haha, it takes on a life of its own :)

[@ramit439]

Hi Joel!...I always "like" your vid before watching. You've got a smooth and purposeful way of educating ppl like me who've never eaten jackfruit. Loving what you do lad. Videos are well done, well edited and always informational. keep up the good work. You and yours are living under heavenly blessings! 🙏✝️

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Pike Ah Pike Man you always give me the highest praise, thank you so much, I appreciate it and it is also a means of motivation to continue with what I have what I have been blessed with, and bring it forward to the next project big or small. God bless man thanks again, glad you enjoyed the video, Big high five from Thailand to Canada, and I hope all is well today!!

[@imaldon1]

Oh! Jack fruits! They're so good! Here in Puerto Rico we call them "Pana Pen" and we eat them boiled in salted water and served with olive oil on top. Mmmm!. When boiled, we eat them with corn beef stew and codfish with cooked pepper and onions. It's really 😋. We also eat it fried in form of plantains along with rice, beans, pork chops, fried chicken and so on! It's a favorite here in the island. It's a fruit worth dreaming of 😊💤. Thanks for sharing this video. Good to see Li👍 Take care both and stay safe. 👍🇵🇷

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Booswanger my mouth might still be hanging open after reading that gorgeous description!!!

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Iván Maldonado In Thailand we eat green jackfruit curry, and it’s quite common, but besides that I don’t know any other way to use it other than just enjoying the fresh fruit. Thank you so much, I am amazed at this feast powered by jackfruit you describe :-) :-)

[@booswanger3801]

I’ve never had jackfruit....and now it’s a must. I will have to visit my Asian market and buy one. Your tips on cutting it up are very helpful. I never realized all the health benefits of this amazing fruit. Thanks Joel for another great video, they’re always a pleasure to watch. Have an awesome and happy day 😊

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Booswanger Hello! Great comment, thanks again for taking the time, and I wish you luck the next time you find a fresh market - this fruit won’t be hard to miss if it’s in the skin, if it still inside the fruit, but if it’s cut up I would imagine that it’s frozen. When it is ripe it has a very high sugar content and so like bananas, when ripe (and at its best!) it can only last for a few days. Good luck cutting it up, it is a mission, worthwhile but still the mission indeed :-) have a marvelous day today, all the best

[@chumnithhang4511]

I’ve been eating jackfruit my entire life. As a kid growing up in Cambodia, I used to eat the seeds but I never realized how beneficial jackfruit is until I watched your video. Thanks a bunch.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Thanks so much for writing, and hey thanks for sharing about the benefits! I hope to show exactly this type of stuff, if nothing else, so cool that you liked it! Hey, take care, all the best! (do you still live in Cambodia?)

[@chumnithhang4511]

No, I live in Texas now, but I visit Cambodia every other year. I was supposed to go this summer, but this darn Covid thing happens.

[@urquhmc]

Thanks for the pleasant memory of my youth in Jamaica where my cousins and I ate lots of jackfruit, picked directly from the trees on our property. It is a fruit I have not had in over 40 years now, since moving to Canada.

[@DewiLestari-su6cc]

indonesia we call Nangka, we used to slice the seed and deep fry then sprinkle with dry chilies and garlic , now is the season .. stay healthy joel God bless 🙏

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Dewi Lestari Hey thank you for sharing, I have definitely tasted the joy of this deep fried jackfruit, Indonesia style, it was just mind blowing :-) I had it with Mark Wiens, yes it just might be the best fried treat in the world Ha ha ha thank you for writing :-) hope you enjoy the video have a great day today

[@DewiLestari-su6cc]

[@limlee1535]

Over here in Malaysia, we don't fry Nangka or boil nangka seeds..we cook Cempedak ..also Jackfruit family. More starchy n sweeter! Nangka is eaten raw.. refreshing cos its crunchier less starchy.

[@vepulan7]

Hey we do a very similar dish in Sri lanka with the seeds too!

[@taraholland4690]

I've had canned jackfruit. I'm sure it doesnt hold a candle to having it fresh. Asia has so many different fruits, many weve never heard of in USA. Thanks again for sharing. Stay well.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

tara holland Tara! Thank you for the message, I guess we are fellow fruit lovers. Hey at least you are trying, sometimes I can say I’m not brave enough to try a canned version of some fruits… Asia is indeed a giant world of food, but you know what I have learned from all of the places I’ve been fortunate to visit, central America and the northern part of South America is the birthplace of 70 to 80% of all of the fruits that we know about. 🤯

[@majorkade]

I found that our USA cantaloupes, watermelons, strawberries, cherries and, of course, apples, are way better than what I ate in Southeast Asia. But in terms of exotic fruits, hard to beat Thailand. The watermelons in Central Asia are the considered some of the best in the world.

[@PREPFORIT]

[@superfastener]

Hi Joel & Li ... thanks for making such a professional & informative Vid. Actually we just came from the supermarket with fresh watermelon, papaya, pineapple & avocado. Alas, Jackfruit is unavailable in Florida, USA. What does it taste like? Kudos to you for not tossing the seeds but preparing them for your benefit. Hope you are staying safe & healthy. God Bless !

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Ron! What a score! Thats awesome, thanks for sharing that with me man. Hey, no worries if youve already tried (and don't care for them), but I think everyone should try papaya seeds at least once (they're so good for you, the taste can be terrible at first, turns many people off immediately, but if you can get used to it, enjoy it even, yeah they are just so packed with nutrients!). The taste of a jackfruit to me is something like honey and banana together. The texture is just a tiny bit leathery, especially if you don't remove all the strands (but its all edible! and great in curry as well, as young jackfruit), its a little bit bouncy as well. Very sticky, incredibly sweet, to me it smells and tastes like honey as well. God bless Ron, enjoy your day today!

[@sumonbriggs6202]

I have friends who grow jack fruits, mango, longans, lychee and more in South Florida, good quality too.

[@adoragonzalez1973]

Super incredible Mr Bruner. This was a very very creative Video indeed! You have alot of creations besides the great music! Its natural to you so you have great talent! Im serious. I have watched many many people and many do not catch my interest because I would rather watch something Educational. As in to learn from it not for entertainment only. Learning about food can actually help us in our health to know what we are eating and how. I take it as an investment. LOL . So Thanks again Sir for your time and the coffee part was my fave LOL. I was like? "Where is the coffee?" lol

[@nlwin7789]

Jack fruit and it's boiled seeds bring many of my fond childhood memories back to Myanmar. Thank goodness they're still available here in the U.S in many Asian supermarkets. I believe they're grown in Florida and growing popularity. Another great video and documentation!

[@ClingToFaith1]

I am looking forward to your Puerto Rico series with Mark. Loved the Jamaica series, especially when you tried the ital food. That jackfruit is massive. Looked like some angel wings when was broke in half and opened up. I need to watch this again and educate myself on the jackfruit. What a versatile fruit. I never tried jackfruit. Its not that easy to find, maybe i need to go to asian market. My favorite fruit is a watermelon with hot sauce on it and a kiwi : ), Always learn alot from your vids.

More to come on the fruit, for sure, but wow I am happy to see a comment from you!!! We did not end up making it to Puerto Rico, there were several issues that came up quickly on that trip... but it was still amazing (yes, Jamaica!!)

@@JoelsTastyRide oh, that was during the time i left instagram. So wasn't updated on your page and posts. I remember you were asking everyone about what item to try from Puerto Rico and Jamaica. I hope you got around to trying the fermented mavi drink or mauby depending on the island from the mauby bark. Did you get a chance to try Jamaican irish seamoss drink? Seamoss is loaded with great health benefits . It is antiviral, so good for these corona times. That Guanabana drink Mokko made you all and the herbal tea with coconut milk looked amazingly invitingly good. The breadfruit looked amazing, a fruit tasting like bread, would be my favorite..lol.

[@4MEStudios]

I loved this video! Never new what a jack fruit was or what it can do. I will look for it hear in my Asian Market as Atlanta does have one of the biggest markets and can get some of the more exotic fruits. (I have had the pleasure of Durian and I understand about the smell but the taste was just too wonderful) Maybe see some different recipes next time with the jack fruit. Or some local dishes like the curry. Stay safe and travel well!

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Murl Harmon Murl!! Hello hello greetings on this Sunday evening! I hope all is well. This is a really interesting comment because you know about durian which in my mind is quite a bit more exotic, that’s cool that you have had one! (Was it more than one?). Although they are both big and green, the skin of jackfruit is actually sort of soft, especially when it’s right, and durian and it is basically weapon-like spiky at all times. :) I love them both though… And they both do come from Asia! Keep your eyes open but I’m just willing to venture a guess that you could find it frozen, already cut up, much easier than fresh. I’m sure it’s being grown in the USA, but only on small scale and I’m sure it would be very expensive. In the video I mentioned the price of two dollars, even here in Thailand buying it at the market where somebody else did all the work, it sells out about three dollars a pound. So more than 10 pounds, Outside the city, etc.… it was quite a deal, I just saw it and went back for it I didn’t even stop the first time to look at the price. So it really was a treat and a gift indeed!

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Murl Harmon oh sorry one more, do you remember the market video from about two weeks ago? The tasty food right? We eat a spicy mash made with young jackfruit, “Soop Kanoon” in the video

[@4MEStudios]

@@JoelsTastyRide I will look in the market next time I go. (it should have opened up by now) Jack Fruit is getting a bit of press on my end of the world since apparently you can make a faux pork from it. (WHO KNEW??!!!) I would be very excited to see and taste that version. Since we are having meat shortages here this could be a really big deal. Are you experiencing the same kind of shortages? I can only imagine on your side of the world since meat is expensive (pork and beef) (they need a lot of room and are expensive to raise) the local diet may already take in that fact. Thus you may not see any shortages! (something to think about) Well until your next video, take care and be safe my unseen friend.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

@@4MEStudios Oh wow!! Well, I am happy to hear that (about the jackfruit replacing meat, not happy about any 'shortage' but looking just at the good side of this, it is great when MUCH more sustainable options can be found in anything, especially our diets!!). The restrictions here have not been very... restrictive. Life here hasnt changed much, I have just limited my own time outside, by my own choice, but actually things are moving pretty much as 'normal as they ever were.'

หวัดดีค่ะ Joel! Your videos are so wonderful and I enjoy them so much! I spent about 7 months in Thailand a few years ago and can’t wait to return. While on Koh Samui, I picked a very ripe jackfruit from a tree in front of an uninhabited house. It was definitely a challenge to cut, peel, and pull apart. It’s one of my favorite fruits. I wish I had known about boiling and eating the seeds, but, thanks to you, I will be sure to do that next time. Have you tried freezing jackfruit? It’s truly amazing and such a treat on a hot day. My favorite fruits include durian, mangoes, bananas - the fat, stubby kind with black seeds inside, longan, papaya, rambutan, and passion fruit. Keep up the good work. I always look forward to your videos!

Jackfruit looks like a ' land that time forgot' ancient fruit. Looks prehistoric. It's gaining popularity in the UK amongst vegans, vegetarians and those like myself and my partner who are striving to improve our health and environment by eating less animal products. We have specialist markets here selling exotic fruits and vegetables but it's not the same as Picking fresh from a tree or ground. Thailand is so beautiful and abundant in the variety of produce.

Jackfruit also has amazing smell too, stay safe, from Bkk

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Nocashmoney Nocashmoney! I am with you man, I think sometimes we can just find jackfruit by the smell alone right? :-)thanks for the comment, have a good day today!

[@fuzagi]

awesome! i love all the mangoes and jackfruit in thailand. Those prices are quite unbelievable even in Thailand. In which town do you live?

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Nic .C Hi Nic!! I live pretty close to downtown Chiang Mai, but for fruit like this I always will either take a trip out of town, or for this exact example, when I pass a place with just unbelievable good looking fruit for sale, I might even borrow a car or ask someone to go with me, and just go back and buy the entire table. Yes you notice the price, sometimes I would even just buy all of it and then enjoy handing out some, of course I eat a lot of it myself, but yeah if it was any cheaper it would literally be free

[@fuzagi]

Great to know 😁 I ran out of time and tummy space to eat during my visit to Chiang Mai and i have yet to explore to outer parts of it. For those prices i hope i will be having fruit feasts in my next visit. Hope to see more of your videos soon. U have such a different perspective which i am looking for on adventure, culture and food. I enjoy them thoroughly. Cheers 🙏🏻

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Nic .C Wow. What another great comment. I like how you phrase that I ran out of tummy space, then OK you and I definitely think alike when it comes to Travel ha ha :-) that’s so great... OK thanks again for the truly awesome support, but even just as much thanks for taking the time to tell me. I know people might not always have time, but I can tell you that on this end, wow this is probably the main thing (besides God giving me the attitude in the first place) that helps keep me motivated, so thank you.

[@fuzagi]

@@JoelsTastyRide it's even more awesome to watch and learn from your adventures. your energy too is an inspiration to me. keep it up, Joel.

I LOVE tropical fruits MY DAD EAT ALL kinds of fruits WITH rice or EAT Palm sugar WITH rice HE got sweet tooth LIKE ME

[@Bebe12367]

🥰👍Jackfruit is one my favorite 😋

[@odettestroebel3135]

Yet another fruit I haven't tried! Haven't seen jackfruit in South Africa. Perhaps I can order online.

[@marcobeerski6429]

im not a massive fan of fruit in the uk .... but when in asia i love it especially jackfruit!

[@arshaashok7039]

You can make shake with jackfruit seed... It very tasty

[@shellaquinn7185]

Enjoyed this ive never seen a jackfruit inside before we can only get tinned here 😪 like the seeds being used instead of discarded like on halloween when everyone dicards pumpkin seeds its a crime as they are amazing roasted

[@A--L]

I love eating the seeds. They are so yummy. Also the reason Thais like to have KaNoon (jackfruit) on special occasions is because its name consists of a prosperous meaning, which is 'noon' or หนุน in Thai. The word means support. So, they believe that their lives would not lack of support/help from other people, and the things in life will go smoothly. Edit. Have you try Kanom MedKaNoon ขนมเม็ดขนุน? It's a kind of Thai desert which makes from the jackfruit seed.

[@derricktremblay5603]

I will need to try this fruit

[@Busybeeee]

A Jackfruit half the size of yours costs $47 here in Canada. I saved the seeds to try to plant them but little did I know they were edible!! I learned something new! THANK YOU! I love the information and facts you presented about the Jackfruit. Please make more of these great informative videos. Focusing on one particular exotic fruit or vegetable and presenting facts about its origins, use and nutritional benefits is a really great format! I am a big fruit lover and Jackfruit and Durian are #1 on my list followed by certain orange-fleshed mangos, candied heart grapes, Cherimoya, and Chocolat Sapote fruit! I can't wait to boil my Jackfruit seeds!! Oh, and I laughed at the reference to the weight of the Jackfruit vs the weight of beautiful chef Li. She is tiny in the cutest most adorable way. Have a wonderful day Joel and Li!

[@uncleLanLan]

Busybee your comments make me laughing and happy. Thank you for watching,have a great day Busybee❤️❤️

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Whoaaa!!! Ok Busybee, I think you and I could definitely tour a fruit market together. I would like to say a BIG thanks for taking time to give specific comments about many different aspects of this video period and HEY, wow your favourite fruit list is just amazing :) Many great ones, Im thinking about them all right now (I was recently fortunate enough to have the Black Sapote for the first time, in FLORIDA!! Doesnt grow in SE Asia, that I know of anyways, thats a fruit of the Americas). And ok, last thing, yeah how hilarious is that a fruit can grow to be as big as a person… Even if it is a person on the smaller side hahah.... Much Love Busybee, see you for the next video very soon! All the best.

[@bre6871]

i very love Jackfruit & Jampada same ^_^

[@kaikalino7349]

The first thing that I must have when I travel back home to the Philippines I must always have goyabano and jack fruit. It is a must.

[@unforgiven.u.3376]

Jackfruit is mine favourite to..yumm😋

[@Knowideer]

What kind of bicycle do you use to do these tours of your? Or do you have a few depending on where you plan to ride?

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Hey that’s great, so yes you understand a little bit about this I see, do you have a passion for riding bicycles? Yes I do indeed have a few different kinds of bicycles, two budget bicycles, one for really rough stuff and then one for trips that include super steep climbs, and then one nice bicycle that I ride every day, fun and fast!

[@JoelsTastyRide]

The one I recommend across the board by the way is the Merida brand, Speeder series

[@Knowideer]

@@JoelsTastyRide Hi Joel! thank you so much for the response. To be honest I thought my question would just get lost in the deluge of messages that you no doubt receive on a daily basis. I do like cycling, but mainly for my personal enjoyment and the side benefit being it is good for me. I do like the idea of cycling in places like south east asia, but i know from my experience that the quality of roads (in some parts) can be tricky to negotiate, especially if you are doing what you have demonstrated in some of your videos , cycling hundreds of Kms with one bike. So i was curious what bike you would have chosen to do these missions. :)

[@pthong100]

Hi Joe keep doing good video good job!Where do you live in Thailand?

[@arczzuchruf5309]

here in indonesia, i like to diggin all mango. especially from my dad hometown area. they have some endemic mangos.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

arczzuchruf Arc! Man! I would absolutely love to join you in Indonesia for a mango tour, wow that would be epic. One of the main guys we were hanging out with in Jamaica, he makes the KZbin channel RasKitchen, He loves Indonesia and he visits every chance he can get. That’s enough for me to believe it must be one of the more special places in the whole world

[@arczzuchruf5309]

@@JoelsTastyRide well, when the pandemic over and you have a free times maybe you can come here and i will arrange kind a short trip full day tour of culinary and mangos in my hometown dude. Could be awesome!

[@jacquil3595]

Thank you 🙏

[@Texasecede]

Hey Joel, I've often wondered how to peel it, prep it and eat it. But, besides eating it in curry, or raw, how else is it used in cooking..cam you make ice cream or pies or maybe more savory dishes?

[@rajarian7558]

True we have lots of jackfruit in India but no durian ... love your videos bro ..specially those which don’t have meat 😂

[@frankietatcanbearrange3874]

Thank you Joel for introducing asian fruits to the western world, however there is a cousin for the jackfruit it is called the Chempedek, not as a super fruits as the jackfruit, but just as pungent. & the seeds you can boiled them & eat them too.

[@judithrobertson3352]

I live in fla. Usa. Do they have jack fruit here

[@mogains]

Looks like I missed this upload. #KZbin stop playing with a grown mans feelings. Beautiful upload as always Joel I have never tried Jack fruit it’s a bit hard to find in Trinidad and Tobago but it’s on my bucket list today. You guys stay safe and stay blessed love and respect from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago ❤️👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇹🇹.

[@derricktremblay5603]

So good for us

[@shashikalapai1698]

Great video, please tell me where did you get that lower cloth you are wearing, kind of wrap around, Is it from India? I have many, white, orange, cream color, yellowish brown etc I liked it very much, where did you find it in Thailand? I love Jack fruit, in my childhood i used to climb the big tree in our garden and remove them one by one, each one huge, at least 4 times the size , that you bought, Every time lowering each one with a strong rope, climbing down, untie again climb up and repeat, At a time a dozen jackfruits. Coz it was a big tree giving atleast 50 huge ones, But all that is just a beautiful memory Enjoy

[@malligakrichenamourty8648]

I love Jackfruit also YUMMY 👍☺

[@nbnatt6725]

Hi. Joel. I initially saw you in Mark’s video. I noticed in Mark’s video, you try not to steal his thunder by reserving your words. I kind of thought to myself Hmmm... this guy is really enjoy Thai food , he can’t even talk much. Hahhhhh.... Glad to see you branch out on your own . I like jackfruit and the pits too. Just a suggestion, maybe you should keep your clip around 15 mins long or less. You know, nowadays we all have short attention span.
