I just had my first piece of (canned) jackfruit and it’s amazing. It tastes like a mango/pineapple/lychee/banana all in one. It’s what you would imagine “tutti-frutti” to taste like, but it’s a real fruit.
We just moved into a new house here in Florida and have a jackfruit tree in the yard with plenty of them growing. I can't wait to see what they taste like! Tfs
+Raihanas Cuisines OMG we've gotten about 15 of them. Several actually fell off while we we away. The people who lived here before we did said that this is the best harvest they've seen from this tree. We are at the end of the season now and have about 5 left waiting to ripen on the tree. I have several frozen bags of them. We use them in smoothies. 😊.
I bought a Jackfruit at the local Mexican food market. I used this and many other fruits and vegetables for shooting targets. I was curious just what this weird fruit was, and a webpage talked about how sweet it was. It was such a weird thing to shoot, but I had determined that I would at least taste it after I split it open with a shot. After we shot it open, we then went to get a taste. When we got there we were overwhelmed with how sweet it smelled, the the taste was so surprising! I finally determined what combination of flavors I was tasting, pineapple and honeydew melon. We would not shoot again , we collected up what was left to take it home to eat. Our curiosity led us to try something so foreign to us, but we’re rewarded with a very surprising treat. I will buy it again, but not to shoot.
And if you eat too much your sweat and pee will end up smelling like jackfruit, i know because I grew up eating this fruit and we have a backyard tree of it
I've had fresh jackfruit from the grocery store when I decided to buy it on a whim. They were sold in thin disks by the pound so much cheaper that way. I loved it! To me it tastes a bit like if you combined a banana and a pineapple but without the acidity of the pineapple. I am addicted to them and could eat them all day. However, my roommate hated it (more for me). I could just eat them all day and they are pretty high in protein for being a fruit which is one of the reasons why it is often used as a mock-meat, beside the fact that it looks like shredded chicken.
Thanks Raihanas, good vid. I live on a farm in Thailand and we have a lot of jackfruit trees growing. All we grew from seeds, it's easy, just keep them well watered until they are established. They can also be used as a meat substitute in curries . . . a favourite Thai dish!
I'm from Bangladesh, It's our national fruit, This video is most informative for western people, You are a practicing Muslim that's why I'm so happy, Love you so much, may Allah bless you.
@@hebwowvwhossow7829 a woman is wearing hijab completely in a tutorial, even in USA, is it not practicing Islam? you saw nothing but eating jackfruit in it?
I wanted to see what this fruit is *supposed* to look like, after seeing a Twitter post about Whole Foods cutting jackfruit into wedges like a watermelon- rind, core, pits and all. Now I'm going down a rabbit hole of exotic fruits I've never heard of.
In Trinidad & Tobago it’s called Koahh very delicious I have memories of joy with my cousins cutting up the Koahh better known as jack fruit when I was a child thanks for the super introduction Raihana 👍🇺🇸❤️🇹🇹
Oh, yum! I just bought one to see if it was indeed good. This fruit is so much more better than I expected! Its delicious!!! The after taste is also pleasant..! I recommend this Jack Fruit to everyone!
I tried this for the first time ever in Bali recently - I didn't know what it was (I thought it was mango) - it had a texture like mango but ...the taste was like "tropical fruit flavoured" something - I mean...when you have tropical fruit flavoured candy...that's what this tasted like!
My bad guys- it really tastes something like juicy fruit gum! 😆😋😊 It was refreshing, we had one that was more ripe, so more sweet flavor than for meat, but it was DELICIOUS! perfect for a smoothie. I. However allergic to latex, so I must share that there was a slight challenge with that!
thanks so much for telling us what color it should be. I have tried this fruit for the first time last week and love it. I have introduced it to several friends and family. I was not sure about the color and am so glad you have told us this. I will use the seeds. I am excited that almost the entire food product is edible and nutritious. thank you
Raihana thank for this video-12/17/22 still going strong. Jackfruit (fresh produce section) was on sale at my Albertson's grocery store, it looked so bizarre (which is another way of saying unknown\different). You really come across as credibly enjoying this and authentically excited to share your experience! I loved your comprehensively formatted video (i.e., showing how to choose a ripe one, cut it, what to discard, alternative use of seeds (will try boiling) and the canned choice (which I'm happy to see Trader Joe's and Whole Foods say they have it). The Comments also, make me so excited to experience this. I am empowered/encourage to adventurously try it both ways (fresh and canned)! There is so much around us, available in this world, and we don't even know it (65 years of life and still amazed).
I am so glad that you are encouraged to try these fruits, i grew up with these fruits, would love to hear back from you as far as your experience, really hoping you enjoying as much as we do 🤗
What a great helpful video! My wife bought jackfruit for us to try but we had no idea how to eat it. This video helped us a lot. Now having tried jackfruit for the first time, we loved it! Can't wait to get it again! So sweet and mellow, with the texture of mango!
Great introduction to a food that I have never been exposed to, being from Oklahoma. I've heard that this can be used as a meat substitute. So I've been looking into trying it. Bought some in a can yesterday at the local Asian market/grocery store. The "in syrup" annoys me, since I don't do sugar, but I figure I can rinse it off and just deal with the sugar content of the fruit. In any case, thanks for the rundown on the subject. Great presentation and detail on the breakdown and all the parts.
To make vegan meat with it you do not want to use the one in syrup. That one is the ripe, sweet jackfruit and is meant to be enjoyed right from the can as a sweet treat. You want to use the young jackfruit in brine. They are often on the shelf right next to eachother. Hope that helps 👍
Jennifer Hernandez you can make curries of the the raw one and it tastes like meat and the ripe one is so sweet and fragrant.Try the Fresh ones.We have 3 jackfruit trees and I can't wait for summer! :)
Thank you for the information. Have you ever used the fruit as a meat substitute? I saw it on TheDoctors tv show and they were using it as a replacement for many different meat dishes.
Thank you for your video. Very informative! I had no idea what I was doing, so I followed along with you as I cut my piece, from the Asian market, apart. I tried the boiled seeds, too! They're delicious!
Thank you for your video! After watching it, I went to my local Whole Foods store and bought a piece...about a quarter of a jack fruit. Mine had a lot of flavorless "meat" in between the orangy fleshy seed pods. But, wow...the orange seed pods are incredibly delicious! Not overly sweet, just perfect with an exotic flavor... Would highly recommend to those with adventurous taste buds.
I was in my local grocery store when I saw this huge fruit I have never seen before. I asked the produce staff what it was I even took a picture. Ironically we were just in disneyland and ordered what my son thought was BBQ pulled pork sandwich and it said jackfruit! So now I'm dying to buy one. It was over $20 for one. I have been watching videos on it today. I enjoyed yours. Thank you for sharing something special from your home
Thank you for your quick and to the point demo on cutting and eating a jack fruit. I bought a piece of one, which was fortunately ripe and did not have the sticky sap, so when you didn't oil your knife, I went for it. Thank you! It was great, and I will buy another cut piece.
I just got an 8lb one from an unattended fruit stand on Hawaii island for $7 yesterday. I think I will cook it in a crockpot with pinto beans, lilikoi(passion fruit), papaya, sweet peppers, bananas/plantains, some juiced oranges, liquid mesquite smoke, and either some special vinegar or some poi for sour flavor. Ulu/breadfruit is a smaller, related fruit that is seedless and just as amazing.
underneath the top skin is also edible, difficult to tear it but we manage to eat up everything. Top skin : organic manure stcky core : glue product & animal traps. Jai Hind 🇮🇳
I have grown up eating this and the seeds are edible by boiling n putting in curries, also we put this in fire so cooked on fire toasted then peel the skin n ready to eat. Very tasty we don't waste seeds, try it.
Another type of "jackfruit" is chempedak - it is the much more expensive type of jackfruit but it is far tastier than the jackfruit. It cost about $15/kg.
someone had posted about serving this as bbq they could not tell the difference it tasted just like bbq pork. Is this right this would be awesome if so
I just bought a can of jackfruit, and your video right now is the first time that I saw anyone show jackfruit and talk about it. So, THANK YOU! I look forward to trying jackfruit now.
I find it tastes a bit like pineapple and mango, with a very different texture and slightly pungent yet sweet aroma. Tried it for this first time this summer.
I bought a chuck of jackfruit and had no idea what to do with it. I watched this video to learn how to use it. It's DELICIOUS!! I wish it grew in a colder climate so I could enjoy them often. Maybe I can build a tropical hothouse, with orchids and jackfruits...
Beautiful! Thank you so much hun. I’ve never heard of this before, but we are eager to have variety and good nutrition. This sounds like a fun food to enjoy. 💞🙆🏻♀️
Here in india we cook the raw jackfruit as a vegetable . I suggest people should try it once it really tastes amazing as a vegetable . But I have never tried it as a fruit I guess I'll try this sometime
Well I'm not a good cook but my mom use to boil it first in a pressure cooker because when you cook it raw its really hard to chew and then after boiling she makes the vegetable
Monica Smith, it was Meijer. I'm in the thumb but I assume all Meijers are the same? I noticed later that they also have small packets of pre-cut and seasoned jackfruit.
Nice video. I didn't know it comes in a can. We eat Jackfruit Crabless Crabcakes which we love. I season them with Old Bay Seasoning and a little Smart Balance and bake or broil. Then top with Vegenaise Tartar Sauce. I plan to buy a bag of frozen Jackfruit that I saw at MOMS Organic Market, to use in place of pork, to make some pulled pork. I heard it's best to use when it's ripened only a little for pulled pork, crabcakes, and other types of meat substitutes. Since I love eating fresh fruit, I will have to try it uncooked. Thank you for your informative video. God Bless!
I am glad you posted a video on the jack fruit. The piece you bought looked dry and withered, the canned ones look fresh. Do you know, unripe jackfruit which we cook and eat with fish curry is a diabetic friendly meal because of the high fibre content? Seeds too. There is a website named jackfruit365.com Tender fruit is used as a vegetable and is also good for diabetics as everything excluding the green skin and the central pith is cooked. And the result is delicious .
Jeremiah Diaz how ignorant can you be. She was saying how when she was growing up they probably had jackfruit trees in their backyard so they’d eat them fresh. Now she probably has to buy them in cans or from the market. I hope your negativity ruins your life 😁
Technically u r right, that is what she said; yet clearly what she meant was as a kid..etc. My point however is this: It is kind of her to make these videos, and I am so pleased she made a video on Jackfruit so that now I will try it for the first time in my life, but can you tell me what you do for the Human Race ? Other than criticize ? For the waste of space u r ?
Need to dip hands and knife in oil because the sticky is very hard to get off...it's like sap almost that bad. Jackfruit is not that sweet. Nothing like an orange or grapes. It's great to use as a meat substitute!! Flavor it up like meat and it's a great stringy meat.
A coworker gave me some at lunch one day. No one knew what it was called, but it was SO delicious! I made it a point to find out what it was, and can't wait to get some of my own! I know my daughter and granddaughter will love them too! Thank you!
1st time trying Jack fruit. Best fruiti have ever tasted. Where has then been all my life. I woul always see it in the the store.Never thought i wuld buy it, and yet here I am. Thank you for your video!!!
Thank you Raihana, what a great video! I bought a can recently to make a vegan pulled savory dish. Now I am intrigued with getting a fresh one for it’s fruit attributes. Your video is great.

exactly how I would describe it. fruit punch flavor.
smells terrible.
Smells like a wet fart
@@seanLee-sk2mi I can bear the smell of Jack fruit but not the smell of Durian 😁
When she said it brought memories I really said awwww 🥺
The flavor was the inspiration for Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum.
Oh wow!
makes a lot of sense. I love both.
No kidding? God, I love Juicy Fruit. Thanks for describing that, I was so curious.
For real?
If you use e-cigs and mix your own e-juice, use three parts jackfruit flavoring, one part pineapple, and one part banana.
Juicyfruit gum!

Thanks Raihana. Wonderful video. Looking forward to trying to find Jackfruit in our local grocery store. My mouth is watering!
I forgot... The nuts can be boiled or roasted First you steam them so you can peel them. They taste like chestnuts hence very good roasted.
Khendhrah Silverbridge
Will have to try it, I have never had the roasted seeds, sounds really yummy
I Love foods with more than one harvest.
Yaa seeds are awesome.. i like seeds than fruits
Bihhhhh I’m eating chestnuts right now, I found your comment while I was scrolling 😮
Thank you i have never had jack fruit but now I will try it.!

Thanks for the tips, as if I can find it, I will try it. Also nice to know how to prepare a fresh one.
Heard of them but never tried. They just arent too common in Canada I guess. By the way you describe it, it sounds very good tho.
Are there T&T supermarkets in your town?
They are usually found in the southern United States as it's a tropical fruit it can be found at an Asian market perhaps
Most Asian stores have em. I get them regularly in Manitoba
They're a tropical fruit so probably not at all something you'd see in Canada.
Its tasty

Yes I believe it, unfortunately healthy foods and fruits are so much more expensive!
Nicole Lynn may I ask what store in Michigan? I live in the palm of the mitten area ;)
Monica Smith, it was Meijer. I'm in the thumb but I assume all Meijers are the same? I noticed later that they also have small packets of pre-cut and seasoned jackfruit.
thanks
to deter you from eating healthy and putting fast foods and processed crap out of business
Nice video. I didn't know it comes in a can. We eat Jackfruit Crabless Crabcakes which we love. I season them with Old Bay Seasoning and a little Smart Balance and bake or broil. Then top with Vegenaise Tartar Sauce. I plan to buy a bag of frozen Jackfruit that I saw at MOMS Organic Market, to use in place of pork, to make some pulled pork. I heard it's best to use when it's ripened only a little for pulled pork, crabcakes, and other types of meat substitutes. Since I love eating fresh fruit, I will have to try it uncooked. Thank you for your informative video. God Bless!
Thank you for the video. That is an interesting fruit my wife and I are going to have to try.
I am glad you posted a video on the jack fruit. The piece you bought looked dry and withered, the canned ones look fresh.
Do you know, unripe jackfruit which we cook and eat with fish curry is a diabetic friendly meal because of the high fibre content?
Seeds too.
There is a website named jackfruit365.com
Tender fruit is used as a vegetable and is also good for diabetics as everything excluding the green skin and the central pith is cooked. And the result is delicious .
Yes the unripe jack fruit is great.... But the canned ripe jack fruit has way too much sugar in it, so I always try and buy the fresh one for me....
Taste like peach and pear mix.
I agree
Whaaaa🤯
That is so cool! I'll have to look for some. Thanks for sharing 😀
very interesting!!!
I'll try it
thank you for sharing 👌 🙋
So when you were growing up these used to grow in trees, how do they grow now? in cans?
Jeremiah Diaz how ignorant can you be. She was saying how when she was growing up they probably had jackfruit trees in their backyard so they’d eat them fresh. Now she probably has to buy them in cans or from the market. I hope your negativity ruins your life 😁
Technically u r right, that is what she said; yet clearly what she meant was as a kid..etc. My point however is this: It is kind of her to make these videos, and I am so pleased she made a video on Jackfruit so that now I will try it for the first time in my life, but can you tell me what you do for the Human Race ? Other than criticize ? For the waste of space u r ?
lucious brun are you Jeremiah Diaz? ... the person who made an ignorant comment on this woman’s video. No don’t @ me
lucious brun someone that was insulting her words, I don’t stand for bullying. Enjoy your jackfruit
I have not insulted anyone's words. I hope I do enjoy my Jackfruit, thank you.
1:56 LITTLE? I think you mean gigantic.
Its little, they can reach 100lbs!
Delicious 🤤 Mashallah! I love this fruit
Thank you for the information and this video.
God Bless
Why does it look like your kitchen cabinets are breathing?!?
Need to dip hands and knife in oil because the sticky is very hard to get off...it's like sap almost that bad. Jackfruit is not that sweet. Nothing like an orange or grapes. It's great to use as a meat substitute!! Flavor it up like meat and it's a great stringy meat.
Grandma Jane it actually depends on how ripe the fruit is. The more ripe it is, the more softer and sweeter! :)
The ripe version is sweet. You can still rate some sweet in the Amish ripe one. It depends on the ripeness
The ripe one is diabetes level sweet + very juicy.
A coworker gave me some at lunch one day. No one knew what it was called, but it was SO delicious! I made it a point to find out what it was, and can't wait to get some of my own! I know my daughter and granddaughter will love them too! Thank you!
We loved it. Thank you!
