I love canned young green jackfruit. Unripe jackfruit makes a great meat substitute for vegetarian meals, and I use it in several recipes as a tasty alternative to meat. When you find canned jackfruit at the grocery, you'll often see both ripe and unripe canned jackfruit. What's the difference?

What is Jackfruit?
Jackfruit is exactly what it sounds like, a fruit, but it’s HUGE. A 50 pound jackfruit is not uncommon. This giant tropical fruit grows on
trees and is very popular in Asia. Unripe, jackfruit can be treated like a starch, cooked and used in savory dishes. Ripened jackfruit can be eaten raw and is
juicy and sweet; quite a combo. Buying and cleaning a fresh jackfruit is quite an endeavor. For me, canned jackfruit is a perfect ingredient.
Thanks for checking our jackfruit recipes out!
Thanks,
--Chef Buck

I have never seen that in any super market that I have been too , maybe because I never looked for it! If I do see it I would buy a can of the unripe to see what it is all about.

@ChefBuckRecipes 2 года назад

the ripe and the unripe are generally right next to one another in the International markets--the green jackfruit almost always seems to be in a green can no matter what the brand, which helps

We have a lot of Jackfruit trees in Jamaica. The ripe Jackfruit is eaten as is without the syrup and some people boiled the seeds and eat them. The green Jackfruit is now been incorporated in dishes especially vegan dishes such as Pulled-pork, Curried Jackfruit, BBQ Jackfruit, Jerk Jackfruit and your creativity. You can find canned Jackfruit in the high-end supermarkets e.g. Hi Lo Foods, Shopper's Fair, Lee's Food Fair, Sovereign Supermarket, etc.

@susanrobinson408 2 года назад

Well, you convinced me. I will try the unripe one, but I don't think I'd like the other. Have a great week, Chef and Camera Girl! (her face when she tasted the ripe jackfruit was priceless!!😂)

@ChefBuckRecipes 2 года назад

I only bought the ripe can of jackfruit to show the difference between the the canned ripe and the canned unripe fruit, which is quite a significant difference. When we lived in Seattle, we'd sometimes go down to the International district and see whole jackfruit for sale that were sometimes as large as a piece of luggage you'd have to check at the airport. Part of me always wanted to buy a whole jackfruit to make a video, but everything I read about processing a whole jackfruit made me NOT want to...and what would I do with 20lbs of jackfruit anyway? ...I'll just stick to the cans :^)

@kathiemott3988 11 месяцев назад

When I lived in Virginia, I was able to go to the E-Mart and be able to get slices of fresh ripened jackfruit. I bought an end one time and had that for a nice slightly bubblegum flavor desert. With the ripe ones, you do not eat the seeds because they have become hard. Tastes a whole lot better than the canned stuff to which sugar has been added.@@ChefBuckRecipes

My mama buys a pre-packaged pulled pork BBQ at Publix...it's great for her since she lives by herself and she can buy a smaller portion. She doesn't make the big meals like she used to do, which I miss, but it cuts down on the dishwashing

Hey Chef Buck! Very informative and interesting as always. I was at a party a couple Months ago and had jackfruit as “pulled pork” On sliders . It was actually real tasty . Hold on was that a land line ringing???? I thought those went extinct 😂😂. Happy Saturday to you and camera girl!

@ChefBuckRecipes 2 года назад

it is a landline!--I guess I'm kinda used to it at my mother-in-law's, but landlines are definitely going the way of the dinosaur. Jackfruit faux "pork" is one of my faves, for sure--I'm shocked how well it works

Interesting and enjoyable topic. If I remembered correctly I bough my first can of Jackfruit at Trader Joe's a couple years ago. Hope it doesn't have an expiration date, like to try making that taco🌮. We have an very popular Mexican vegan restaurant here in town that mainly Jackfruit ingredients. It's good and expensive. Tfs.

@ChefBuckRecipes 2 года назад

I think I've seen canned jackfruit that was even sold as a "Trader Joe's" brand. I don't know if I've eaten in a restaurant that offered jackfruit options, or at least I'm blanking out on remembering...I'm pretty sure I haven't eaten jackfruit in a restaurant, but I do recall seeing a food truck in Portland, OR that offered the Jackfruit BBQ "pulled pork" sandwiches

I use green jackfruit mixed with bone-sucking' sauce for a BBQ pulled chicken sandwich. Similar to a sloppy Joe. I tried the canned ripe jackfruit only once. Will not try it again. Prefer fresh ripe jackfruit and it has a slight bubblegum flavor to it. I have also used the green jackfruit in my plant based chili.

@maurobraunstein9497 27 дней назад

Dude, jackfruit has an absolutely delicious flavor! Chop it up and use it as an ice cream topping. Or just eat it on its own as a snack! You could add stuff to it I guess, but I don't think you need to. Mix it with some other fruits for some contrast, like cherries. That sounds like it would be delicious, canned jackfruit and cherries. Put it on top of a passion fruit mousse. My blood sugar is rising just thinking about it. By the way, canned jackfruit is superior to fresh. You may be able to find it fresh at an Asian grocery if there's one big enough near you (I can sometimes find it at H-Mart), but honestly, it takes too much work to dig out the edible bits and they're just not that tasty anyway. The canned version is much more flavorful and easier to eat. I mean, if you want to use the unripe can as a meat substitute, hey, I'm glad you're eating this great fruit at all. Maybe it's just the kind I tried that one time, but it had a kind of weird smell? I'd rather stick to actual meat, but it's good for people who can't or don't eat meat to have an option too. But the sweet kind is the one that's actually good. Oh! You can get jackfruit chips! Those are the best, so fruity! (But dried jackfruit tastes like leather. Avoid that one.)

@MsLeenite 2 года назад

Those fresh Jackfruit really are intimidating! Driving home with one, you could strap it into the passenger seat with a hat on it, and use the HOV lane, haha. In South Texas (Gulf coast) I usually see whole fresh Jackfruit in the Sprouts market, which has a numerous vegan/vegetarian clientele. Lately I've been seeing them in the HEB supermarket, which is the big Texas chain. Never looked to see how much they cost. I have a feeling that 2 or 3 vegan friends chip in to buy one, the way suburban neighbors used to chip in to purchase a side of beef from a wholesale butcher who'd cut it up to order for them.

@ChefBuckRecipes 2 года назад

I know...sometimes jackfruit look ridiculously large....I've seen some in Seattle that I would definitely NOT have been able to pick up and handle easily. I always wondered who would buy such a thing since I've never actually seen anyone actively purchasing one of the humongous jackfruit ...and I also wonder how much of the whole fruit is actually useable. A 20oz can is plenty for my needs!

@spaceghost27 2 года назад

i've never had ripe fresh jackfruit but had heard that juicy fruit gum was supposed to be the flavor of jackfruit. and i love juicy fruit gum that i can remember.

@juanantoniobh 28 дней назад

I love ripe jackfruit, but I don’t get the canned one, I get the actual fruit and slice it open. Just by looking at the young green jackfruit that you got out of the can, the first question that I have is “is the green jackfruit the unripe version of the ripe jackfruit pods?” .. the reason I am asking is because if you compare the ripe jackfruit pods against the unripe ones (comparing the contents of both the cans you opened) they don’t look the same … I would think the ripe pod would look the same on the unripe can but different color, but is you compare the contents of both cans they don’t look the same… so my second question is “what part of the fruit is what they use for the young green can?”

Hope you can find some fresh it is kind of yummy and the seeds are beautiful and you can roast and eat them. Strange but I did it! I would hate to be sitting under a jackfruit tree! It could kill ya!

@ChefBuckRecipes 2 года назад

The unripe, young green jackfruit can be used in many ways like tofu, although I've only used it in hot recipe preparations...I have no good suggestions for the ripe jackfruit other than eating it right out of the can, and relatively speaking, it's not that awesome (to me)
