What is Jackfruit and how to eat it

[@josephwiliams5467]

I just had my first piece of (canned) jackfruit and it’s amazing. It tastes like a mango/pineapple/lychee/banana all in one. It’s what you would imagine “tutti-frutti” to taste like, but it’s a real fruit.

[@Samuel-H]

I’m going to try it now thanks to this comment. It sounds delicious!

We just moved into a new house here in Florida and have a jackfruit tree in the yard with plenty of them growing. I can't wait to see what they taste like! Tfs

wow! Would love to know how many you got...

[@heartbeatnailzRuthieSantana]

+Raihanas Cuisines OMG we've gotten about 15 of them. Several actually fell off while we we away. The people who lived here before we did said that this is the best harvest they've seen from this tree. We are at the end of the season now and have about 5 left waiting to ripen on the tree. I have several frozen bags of them. We use them in smoothies. 😊.

Our local store just displayed this yesterday. I have never heard of it or seen it before. The store provided no information or samples so I wasn't going to try it as it was rather expensive. So I came home and went to you on youtube. Thanks for educating me. I'm always looking for new produce to try so I'll head back to the store tomorrow. You're very likable and I enjoyed watching.

I just bought a can of jackfruit, and your video right now is the first time that I saw anyone show jackfruit and talk about it. So, THANK YOU! I look forward to trying jackfruit now.

[@jadeflowers4850]

I've had fresh jackfruit from the grocery store when I decided to buy it on a whim. They were sold in thin disks by the pound so much cheaper that way. I loved it! To me it tastes a bit like if you combined a banana and a pineapple but without the acidity of the pineapple. I am addicted to them and could eat them all day. However, my roommate hated it (more for me). I could just eat them all day and they are pretty high in protein for being a fruit which is one of the reasons why it is often used as a mock-meat, beside the fact that it looks like shredded chicken.

[@graciegjj]

I heard if you have a latex allergy that this fruit could be a problem...

[@christophermaclachlan3326]

Thanks Raihanas, good vid. I live on a farm in Thailand and we have a lot of jackfruit trees growing. All we grew from seeds, it's easy, just keep them well watered until they are established. They can also be used as a meat substitute in curries . . . a favourite Thai dish!

Raihana thank for this video-12/17/22 still going strong. Jackfruit (fresh produce section) was on sale at my Albertson's grocery store, it looked so bizarre (which is another way of saying unknown\different). You really come across as credibly enjoying this and authentically excited to share your experience! I loved your comprehensively formatted video (i.e., showing how to choose a ripe one, cut it, what to discard, alternative use of seeds (will try boiling) and the canned choice (which I'm happy to see Trader Joe's and Whole Foods say they have it). The Comments also, make me so excited to experience this. I am empowered/encourage to adventurously try it both ways (fresh and canned)! There is so much around us, available in this world, and we don't even know it (65 years of life and still amazed).

I bought a Jackfruit at the local Mexican food market. I used this and many other fruits and vegetables for shooting targets. I was curious just what this weird fruit was, and a webpage talked about how sweet it was. It was such a weird thing to shoot, but I had determined that I would at least taste it after I split it open with a shot. After we shot it open, we then went to get a taste. When we got there we were overwhelmed with how sweet it smelled, the the taste was so surprising! I finally determined what combination of flavors I was tasting, pineapple and honeydew melon. We would not shoot again , we collected up what was left to take it home to eat. Our curiosity led us to try something so foreign to us, but we’re rewarded with a very surprising treat. I will buy it again, but not to shoot.

Great introduction to a food that I have never been exposed to, being from Oklahoma. I've heard that this can be used as a meat substitute. So I've been looking into trying it. Bought some in a can yesterday at the local Asian market/grocery store. The "in syrup" annoys me, since I don't do sugar, but I figure I can rinse it off and just deal with the sugar content of the fruit. In any case, thanks for the rundown on the subject. Great presentation and detail on the breakdown and all the parts.

[@dreadfairy6963]

To make vegan meat with it you do not want to use the one in syrup. That one is the ripe, sweet jackfruit and is meant to be enjoyed right from the can as a sweet treat. You want to use the young jackfruit in brine. They are often on the shelf right next to eachother. Hope that helps 👍

I heard it's best to use when it's ripened only a little for pulled pork, crabcakes, and other types of meat substitutes. Since I love eating fresh fruit, I will have to try it uncooked.

I am glad you posted a video on the jack fruit. The piece you bought looked dry and withered, the canned ones look fresh. Do you know, unripe jackfruit which we cook and eat with fish curry is a diabetic friendly meal because of the high fibre content? Seeds too. There is a website named jackfruit365.com Tender fruit is used as a vegetable and is also good for diabetics as everything excluding the green skin and the central pith is cooked. And the result is delicious .

[@Raihanascuisines]

Yes the unripe jack fruit is great.... But the canned ripe jack fruit has way too much sugar in it, so I always try and buy the fresh one for me....

[@livingonthehedge6269]

I just bought a whole one in Michigan for $1.69/lb. It was nearly $35 total.

[@Raihanascuisines]

+Nicole Rushe Yes I believe it, unfortunately healthy foods and fruits are so much more expensive!

[@monicasmith8974]

Nicole Lynn may I ask what store in Michigan? I live in the palm of the mitten area ;)

[@livingonthehedge6269]

Monica Smith, it was Meijer. I'm in the thumb but I assume all Meijers are the same? I noticed later that they also have small packets of pre-cut and seasoned jackfruit.

[@monicasmith8974]

thanks

to deter you from eating healthy and putting fast foods and processed crap out of business

[@cherrihankins9664]

Just got home from another state where I bought my first jackfruit. Thanks to your video, I know how to peel. Haven't tried it yet.

1:56 LITTLE? I think you mean gigantic.

[@NoNORADon911]

Its little, they can reach 100lbs!

[@olliedynoduck]

Just bought my first quarter of a jackfruit. Came on youtube to see what to do with it. Thank you so much for sharing how. I’m going to try it. I also heard where it can be cooked, like pulled pork with BBQ sauce which when cooked, it’s like meat. Bought it at Thyme Market.

[@djjammindave]

So when you were growing up these used to grow in trees, how do they grow now? in cans?

[@victoriamircic7459]

Jeremiah Diaz how ignorant can you be. She was saying how when she was growing up they probably had jackfruit trees in their backyard so they’d eat them fresh. Now she probably has to buy them in cans or from the market. I hope your negativity ruins your life 😁

[@luciousbrun5437]

Technically u r right, that is what she said; yet clearly what she meant was as a kid..etc. My point however is this: It is kind of her to make these videos, and I am so pleased she made a video on Jackfruit so that now I will try it for the first time in my life, but can you tell me what you do for the Human Race ? Other than criticize ? For the waste of space u r ?

[@victoriamircic7459]

lucious brun are you Jeremiah Diaz? ... the person who made an ignorant comment on this woman’s video. No don’t @ me

[@victoriamircic7459]

lucious brun someone that was insulting her words, I don’t stand for bullying. Enjoy your jackfruit

[@luciousbrun5437]

I have not insulted anyone's words. I hope I do enjoy my Jackfruit, thank you.

[@agathaeton9537]

Thank you for the video. I finally bought this fruit and wanted to make sure I was eating it correctly. My family and I are enjoying eating it. It taste like pineapple with the crunchiness of an apple to me.

[@Raihanascuisines]

You are so welcome!

[@ComeHere-KittyKitty]

Need to dip hands and knife in oil because the sticky is very hard to get off...it's like sap almost that bad. Jackfruit is not that sweet. Nothing like an orange or grapes. It's great to use as a meat substitute!! Flavor it up like meat and it's a great stringy meat.

[@jumanaa]

Grandma Jane it actually depends on how ripe the fruit is. The more ripe it is, the more softer and sweeter! :)

[@auroraautumn8764]

The ripe version is sweet. You can still rate some sweet in the Amish ripe one. It depends on the ripeness

[@bassraja1978]

The ripe one is diabetes level sweet + very juicy.

[@sheilameagher3675]

Thank you. I have never had Jack Fruit before, and have just started hearing about this fruit over the last couple of years. Then yesterday I actually saw pieces in the produced department of my grocery store (Calgary Alberta Canada). But was not clear which parts were edible or how to eat it. Your video is excellent and answered all my questions about fresh and canned. I feel like I can try this now with out wasting it. Thank you for sharing!

[@paulmccarty2511]

Taste like peach and pear mix.

[@Raihanascuisines]

I agree

[@Nolimit2jazfitness]

Whaaaa🤯

[@darrylkeith57]

Had it for the first time in Uganda in 2009 and didn't realize until I saw a food ad last week that it was available in the U S. I am definitely going to purchase one because I remember just how good it was. I received a container already cut up as a going-a-way gift and munched on it from Kampala to the airport in Entebbe.
