What is Jackfruit
Jack fruit is a fruit that grows on a tree belonging to the genus Bach of the Moraceae family, and is called "paramitsu" in Japan.It is said to be the world's largest fruit, weighing about 50 kg.It looks like durian, but it doesn't have that strong smell.The hard, thorny skin is green when young.It turns yellow as it ripens.
Sweet when ripe, it is a tropical fruit that can be eaten raw, candied, dried or in chips.
On the other hand, immature jackfruit is used not only as a fruit but also as a vegetable, such as stewed dishes such as curries and salads.In recent years, it has become popular among vegetarians as an alternative to meat.
It looks like a bamboo shoot! ?
You can leave it in chunks, but you can use a fork to break it up.It looks like tuna when you cut it open.This loose fiber gives it a texture like pulled pork or chicken.It has no peculiarity, so it can be used for various dishes.Season with barbecue sauce and more for vegan pulled pork!

I ate jackfruit
What does jackfruit taste like?I tried immediately.
First, stir-fry lightly so as to leave lumps.
First of all, I will put it in curry.First, I tried to make a curry with completely loosened jackfruit, but it was too soft and got lost in the thick curry, so I couldn't enjoy the meat-like texture.Next, I put it in without loosening it completely and made it.It feels good to have a little chunk because it has a moderate bite and increases satisfaction.
vegan pulled pork
I made vegan pulled pork using jackfruit.First, loosen and drain the jackfruit, chopped onions, and bell peppers and stir-fry them together.Finally add the barbecue sauce. (using vegan barbecue sauce)
It looks nice!Doesn't it look like pulled pork?Heel.Perfect for sandwiches.
After all, the fiber itself is soft, so the texture is a little unsatisfactory compared to real pulled pork.Although it feels like that, it is light and has no unpleasant smells or peculiarities, so you can enjoy various changes depending on the seasoning.Organic jackfruit is also available and easy to prepare.It's good to be able to use it as a substitute for meat without too much processing.
