We tried jackfruit - the huge tree fruit that supposedly tastes like pulled pork

Jackfruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world. It has been called a "miracle" fruit because it provides so many nutrients and calories and is relatively easy and cheap to cultivate.
The fruit tastes like a cross between a pear and pineapple when ripe, but more like a potato when immature. Perhaps the most popular way to eat jackfruit in the US is to cook it for a few hours, at which point it takes on the texture, flavor, and look of pulled pork. We tried the raw fruit alongside some barbecued jackfruit, ordered from Candle Cafe, to see if it lives up to its reputation

There are two types of jackfruit. one is soft and another is hard. I'm not talking about ripeness. The one you ate was hard jackfruit. The soft kind is very sweet banana-gum flavaoured and soft. If you really wanna eat and know about jackfruit then you should talk to a Bangladesh immigrant because our national fruit is the jackfruit. BTW with the soft kind you can make it into a milkshake. Lastly, one jackfruit does not describe them all. There's mild sweet hard jackfruit, sweet hard jackfruit, mild sweet soft jackfruit and my favourite- sweet soft jackfruit. Mild sweet hard jackfruit was probably used to make the BBQ.

I love jackfruit too. I'm from Cameroon, so we have quite a few trees there. In most schools there, they have this thing called holiday classes, where the parents pay the school to teach their kids during the holidays (it's like summer school, but grades are irrelevant) Anyway, since there were jackfruit trees along the shortcut my friends and I used from school, one of us would bring a knife from home to cut open a jackfruit so we could share it on the way home. Good times. 😊😊

@klangoxp 7 лет назад

I live in Brazil and this fruit is very very common around here. So much that we even have cases of people getting hurt from jacas (portuguese name) falling of trees on the streets. However, I have never tasted it, something about the smell gets me off.

I ate jackfruit for the first time this morning, and I kid you not, I became energized and clear-minded in a similar way to how I get off of coffee, except I didn't crash or have blood-sugar problems (I'm hypoglycemic). I'm going to eat this fruit every morning from now on so long as my wallet allows for it!

you have to use green young jackfruit, tinned at Asian supermarkets usually is best. it's the cooking and seasoning that makes it taste very much like soft pulled meat. it's bloody delicious either way, and healthy!

@nil_90 7 лет назад

Yep it's pretty impractical. Firstly cutting through the seeds and the meat makes it less desirable. Secondly by splitting the stem you're actually exposing the non edible gluey staff. Thirdly nobody eats a whole jack-fruit at once. So as you've mentioned, cutting little and then peeling lets you eat and then store again(you can roll back the skin as you've peeled). But then again, every single guy here has a brain better then everyone else, so who am I to say how to cut!

Jackfruit (kathal) originated in southern India and we use the slightly raw version for savoury amazing tasty dishes and the ripe version as fruit. But as someone who has grown up eating jackfruit since childhood...I would never mistake it for pork.

Jackfruit is a national fruit of Bangladesh. As a Bangladeshi u all are invited here in next summer. U can have as much fresh jackfruits as u want. :)

@Mb-vs3lw 7 лет назад

The sweet and best tastings ones should be somewhat slimy and stringy as you pull it apart, once you've eaten some your hands should be sticky with sweetness. If it's not ripe it won't give you the best flavour, which is a shame because it's such an amazing fruit. My favourite for sure.

@Richards0n1 6 лет назад

I'm from Dominican Republic we have the same fruit, but the way we eated is that we boild the seeds with water and salt for about 45 minutes then you let it seat down till they are warm enough that you can grab them with your hands and peel off the Brown shell or sead's and eat what's inside, taste awesome.

@harikrishnanks9366 4 года назад

These fruits were like godsent for people in india 50 years ago when the season comes jackfruit was the major source of food. In our home there are 5 jackfruit trees no maintanance required. Science has proven that jackfruit can reduce the risk of developing cancer and it can also prevent hiv. Eating unripe jackfruit is good for diabetic patients. Its the food of the future.

There are a few varieties, regardless, they all start from "babyhood" when they are vegetable NOT fruit, people. I love them either way . That can't be said of any other offering from trees. Jackfruit is considered a solution to hunger and famine. Enough said of my favorite jackfruit.

@launchamerica4786 3 года назад

Some History. Jackfruit origin is in the region from the Western Ghats of southern Indian state called Kerala. The name Jackfruit is from "Jaca" a Portuguese word which derived from "Chakka" from the Malayalam language of Kerala which is a southern state in India popularised in other parts of the world during the 15th century when Portuguese sailors reached Kerala for trade (The year 1499). This fruit then moved to Bangladesh, SriLanka, Malaysia, Vietnam and even Brazil. Jackfruit is now the National fruit of both Bangladesh and SriLanka. In Brazil, Jackfruit becomes an invasive species where the massive growth in numbers badly affected other native plants of Brazil.

@sk5940 7 лет назад

Wow this brings back my childhood memories. whenever my aunt used to bring this everyone in the house even grandma. all would apply oil on their hands and start eating this until it is fully finished. It was like a big brunch. This is found in summer here south-west India.There are two varieties found here kapo (harder and the one shown in the video) and rasaal (juicy and softer).The sticky substance she found is "deekh" (type of tree juice). Even chips, jams and fly traps are made out of this.

@magsjudge6151 8 лет назад

Confusing video, looks like they eat the fruit not the flesh that you use to make the pulled pork!

@munemshahariar2503 7 лет назад

mags judge unripe ones are used in making savory dishes they dont have fruit developed so its just a lump of flesh inside the skin(in a sense) they used a almost riped one...and had its seeds and the fruits developed ....

@liemlai1776 6 лет назад

Don't know about it's benefits, but all i know is that all jackfruits tastes awesome. You can boil the seed with some salt for an awesome nutty treat. Also deep frying the stringy parts and sprinkle some flavors on for a good time. Vegan pulled pork, that i gotta try. Btw, you're supposed to do a shallow cut that runs down one side so you can peel the skin off like you're skinning an animal.

where i'm from it only cost $0.20 dollars/kilo and the trick to making it sweeter is to make a huge cut on side and let it sit in a cool dry place for at least 3 days, not only it will become sweeter, it will also leave a sweet smell around the room.
