Description:
Jackfruit is commonly used in south and southeast Asian cuisines. It can be eaten unripe (young) or ripe, and cooked or uncooked. The seeds can also be eaten cooked or baked like beans; they taste similar to chestnuts. The leaves are sometimes used as a wrapping for steamed idlis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Neutral taste, pulled pork/chicken texture
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Rinse, smash, and flavor it. So easy to work with.I made spiced 'pulled pork' sandwiches and piled it high with a slightly sweet cole slaw. Neither my husband or I are vegetarians/ vegans, but I enjoy having dishes that don't necessarily require flesh, and my husband is open to what I make. He wasn't sure what I used, but could tell it wasn't exactly pork.. but he liked it. Sometimes I just want to try something new, and this had been on my list to try for some time now. This was a pleasant substitute but it certainly isn't a perfect swap (didn't expect it to be). Texture is great for what I made though, so that is important! It could even be used to stretch or mix in with meat for a lightened up version of a dish.I rinsed the fruit well. I tried a piece by itself. Fairly bland as expected, with a hint of watered down artichoke taste. Olive texture? I used two cans, and with a drained weight of 10 oz per can, the amount certainly looked like 1.5-2 lbs of pulled pork. So pretty even. After slow cooking it in several spices and BBQ sauce, the flavoring was delicious. It could have been put together quickly too, with likely same flavor outcome. Paired well with the cole slaw I made. I think my next foray with it will be to make a pulled chicken dish using Mexican flavors. Since I rarely get out to the stores, I figured I would just buy the jackfruit off Bolo, so I can't comment on price. {{Currently 6 for $17. $2.83 per can. I used two cans to make a large skillet of 'pulled pork' for $5.66. We used regular sized hamburger rolls, and with a combination of 'pork' and cole slaw, there were 8 sandwiches made.}}Item shipped quickly, no damaged or dented cans, product is as described, and it worked for what I wanted to use it for. I don't see any reason not to give the product and experience a full 5 stars at this time.
5.0 out of 5 stars A taste from Indonesia
The Aroy-D Young Green Jackfruit in Brine has been a game-changer for us! Since fresh jackfruit is hard to find in the U.S., this product has been a fantastic substitute. The quality is consistently excellent, with tender, flavorful pieces that work perfectly in various dishes.My wife uses this jackfruit in her Indonesian recipes, and it truly brings the flavors of her homeland to life. From rendang to curry and beyond, the jackfruit soaks up all the spices and sauces beautifully, making every dish stand out.It’s easy to use, well-packaged, and has become a pantry staple for us. If you’re looking to recreate authentic Southeast Asian flavors or simply enjoy experimenting with jackfruit in your cooking, this product is a must-have. A taste of home in every bite!
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice quality product and delicious
I made jackfruit sloppy joes with this product and it turned out wonderful. My recipe said to not use the center of the fruit but I included it becuase it seemed tender and I hated to waste it and it worked out just fine. I'm definitely going to look for more jackfruit recipes and try to make something monthly. It's hard to find this at local supermarkets for me so ordering it on Bolo seems like it might be the way to go for now.
1.0 out of 5 stars Tough and hard compared to other brand. Price is better though.
I tried Jackfruit for the first time two months ago. The first brand that I tried was Native Forest and it was almost $9 a 14 oz can, which was way more expensive than Aroy-D's $3.67 a 20 oz can. That's why I tried Aroy-D this time. The price for Aroy-D Jackfruit is a lot better.Nutrition wise, Aryo-D's seems to have less nutrients. An 89 gram serving of Native Forest Jackfruit had 3 grams of Dietary Fiber and 2 grams of Protein. But an 85 gram serving of Aroy-D's Jackfruit only has 1 gram of Dietary Fiber and 1 gram of Protein. This is kinda important. A 14 oz can of Native Forest Jackfruit would have 5 grams of Protein. If it were a 20 oz can with around 3.5 servings, it would have 7 grams of Protein. But Aryo-D's has 2-3x less than that. I prefer having more Dietary Fiber and Protein in my foods.Texture wise, Aryo-D is way, way worse. I remember when I tried the Native Forest brand, the Jackfruit was so soft and fell apart. I thought how much softer it was than Artichokes. There was also a distinct, sweet fruity flavor to it. But with Aryo-D, it is incredibly hard and tough. It takes a lot of hand power to break it apart. Boiling it in water doesn't help soften it up. It is just too tough and hard. Taste wise, the Native Forest brand tasted a lot sweeter.Really the only good thing about this Aroy-D brand is that it is a lot cheaper.
4.0 out of 5 stars first time cooking with jack fruit
This was my first experience with Jack Fruit. I watched several videos on YouTube to learn what to do with it. I think it can be used as a meat replacement.I sautéed red onions, added the Jack Fruit and a commercial Bar-B-Que sauce. It was ok. I found the Jack Fruit to be tasteless like tofu.It is a 20 oz six pack. A little over a pound a can. $23.98 seller stated 20 cents as ounce. About $4 per can. I would say that one can is enough for 2-3 people with side dishes served.The can I opened was fully packed with just enough liquid to keep it moist. There were a few small seeds but not a big deal. This seems like a good value compared to tuna fish. The package arrived in good condition - no damage or dented cans. I do like the fact that it contains far less salt than tofu.Personally I wasn't impressed I'll try another recipe since this was a last minute experiment. I think that with the right spices/herbs it would probably make a tasty dish that really does have a meat consistency.
