What Is Jackfruit?

Jackfruit is a highly nutritious fruit that can be found fresh or canned. Depending on the ripeness of the fruit, it can be used in sweet or savoury dishes. When not ripened, it has a neutral flavour that makes it an amazing meat replacement that will take on the flavour it is paired with.
