While fresh jackfruit is an acquired taste, young green jackfruit has no distinct flavor and lends itself well to any flavorings or sauces given to it. It also shreds much like cooked chicken, so it makes a great plant-based substitute for many recipes. This vegan jackfruit dish is just one of several we have on the site.
