Most of us know jackfruit mainly as a meat substitute. But we're here to break the news: IT'S SO MUCH MORE. From Uganda to India, Thailand to Brazil, the Caribbean to the Philippines, jackfruit can be found in stir-fries and curries, desserts and smoothies, or enjoyed like any other fruit when it's fully ripe! Jackfruit's versatility is seriously unparalleled. The flavor of ripe jackfruit is storied to have inspired the flavor of Juicy Fruit Gum. Over the years, people have likened jackfruit's flavor to "a mango-banana!!", "a pineapple bubblegum!", "a banana mixed with apple!". But really, jackfruit tastes like, well, jackfruit.
