Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is BY FAR, the best quality and price I've found for jackfruit (using as a meat substitute). The canned products are so much waste and processing to remove seeds. With this package, you can use it immediately. There is another review on here, claiming it's terrible and smells... it IS NOT fresh fruit, it is YOUNG JACKFRUIT, which is used to replace pork or chicken. Here's the recipe I used for Vegan BBQ, so GOOD!! Jack Fruit Barbecue 2 cups vegetable stock 3 cups jackfruit (I used half of the package) 1/3 cup red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon liquid smoke 3/4 cup vegan barbecue sauce PREPARATION 1. Soak jackfruit in vegetable stock, vinegar and add some water, just to cover the fruit. Let this sit 2 hours. 2. Once the jackfruit has been rehydrated, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 3. In a heavy saucepan, add the olive oil, onions and garlic, and cook until translucent. 4. Add the jackfruit, spices, Worcestershire, and liquid smoke. Stir to coat evenly. 5. Simmer on medium, stir during cooking to breakdown the jackfruit and create a shredded look. 6. Let this simmer 45 minutes, until most of the liquid is gone. 7. Spread the jackfruit on a prepared baking sheet, drizzle with half of the barbecue sauce. 8. Bake at 350ºF/180ºC for 45 minutes, until the liquid has baked out and the jackfruit has a deeper brown color. 9. Stir barbecue, turning over in the pan. Add remaining sauce and bake for another 45 minutes. 10. Serve warm on vegan buns with vegan coleslaw.
