Your Guide To Jackfruit

You may have heard of jackfruit but what is it? Why should you use it and what does it taste like?

Jackfruit is a species of tree in the fig and mulberry family. The tree produces oblong fruits with a fleshy exterior. Inside this bumpy skin, a jackfruit contains many pale yellow bulbs which are edible.

It is used as a plant based meat alternative because this fruit soaks up flavours well and has a stringy ‘meat’ like texture.
