I love how your suggestions for tedious fruit prep are always "Get the kids to do it" or "Throw a party and make your guests do it."
I say combine the two. Jackfruit piniata. Think about it.
Make the neighbors kids do it and have your own kids boss them around while they play their PS5.
"Put things in a pot until it tastes good"
This is almost word for word how I describe my cooking process
The common way to cook this in the Philippines is by "ginataan" (or cooked in coconut cream + milk). In our province there's a slightly different variation of this ginataan which is called "salad". It's almost the same as the regular ginataan but slightly tangy and less soupy. In my opinion the best stage of making it into a vegetable is just before it shows yellow flesh but not very unripe. Sometimes people still make vegetable dishes out of it even though there are some early stage of ripeness. It tends to be mushy. When picked right, the flesh should have slightly sweet (but not jack fruit-y sweet).
This can feed a lot of people. We have a few jack fruit trees in our yard and sometimes our neighbor would ask for unripe one to cook and would give us and other neighbors a pot full of ginataan.
The u.s. needs to let us import these things. Not everything can grow here. But I feel the u.s. is trying to keep us from healing and curing ourselves of the diseases they give us.
I thought that grated coconut was sea salt for a second o_0.
that would be tragic
+Weird Explorer that looks to be about 1/2 tsp of Coriander. and about 1 Tbsp + about 1/4tsp. total of Garam Masala just best guestimate of course.
Love the way you present. We have a jack fruit tree in front of our center. We might give it a shot. Thanks brother!
Cool! I like these cooking videos
Great to hear :)
Great info and thanks for making me laugh. The preciseness of one cup of water contrasted with the "ask the audience" how much spice you added had me in stitches.
Looks delish! Would love to try it! Thankyou for the Upload! Keep up the great Work! Blessings to your Family and you! 🙏🕯🌛🌝🌜💛🕯
I’ve been using green jackfruit in savory dishes all the time lately. Great stuff. (I use canned or pouched jackfruit, so no mess. I prefer pouched because it’s not in a brine, so the texture is better and it takes seasoning better, without the taste of the brine competing with the seasoning
Thank you so much for this video. I really enjoyed it. VERY INFORMATIVE.
If you put enough good spices and plenty of barbecue sauce, jackfruit is a great substitute for pulled pork. I can’t quite get past that texture, though. Not my favorite.
That dish sounds and looks divine.
Great video, and recipe idea! I use young jackfruit (canned) to make vegetarian carnitas style tacos. You'd swear it it was shredded pork!
Here's the recipe I use:
www.theedgyveg.com/2015/04/20/jackfruit-carnitas-pulled-pork-tacos/
Bluedini01 I love that recipe, it is so amazing.
Kyla Crawford yes! It's one of my favorites!
I'll check it out :)
Excellent. I was given seven green jackfruit. What to do??? Oh dear! Well I processed five of them, and froze some of it. It was very time consuming indeed, but very well worth it in the end. The Indians make a lovely pickle from the unripe fruit, and it is truly delicious, if you like spicy, which I do. Check out some recipes. A different, fun alternative.
Also, have you heard about people making pulled Jackfruit and using it in the same way that you would use pulled pork? The family that makes candy at Hercules Candy in upstate NY does that, apparently lol..
That curry looks divine! Will be trying it soon minus the jackfruit unless I manage to find some tinned. Not seen any around here in the south of Germany. Love your videos!
Haha I love that one of my non-recipes will live on! The tinned stuff is pretty good and pretty common if you have an asian grocery store.
Nice video as usual jared, keep it up.
also maybe if you marinate the jackfruit before cooking it it would be more flavorful?
Huh...I may try this. There's a lot you can do with different fungi if you need something in the meat-textured department. No on should ever have to stoop to the level of TVP. The fungi-based 'Quorn' products are my personal favorite.
I don't like mushrooms :/ Maybe Quorn would be good though, I haven't tried it yet. I like TVP :D
At 3:40 when you finally cut it in half, was that a sound effect or did a car honk at just the perfect moment?
I'm 3 years late but man! You really did your research! My grandma used to cut it in half then peel the skin. After that you can just hack it away! Our special dish here in Jogja is gudeg, some other place make megono rice and some other place make many other dish out of it. I used to hate unripe jackfruit dish when I was a kid, but growing up I ended up liking it especially gudeg and megono rice. Both gudeg and megono rice are cooked in coconut milk as far as I remember. Well I know gudeg is cooked in coconut milk and sweet soy sauce gravy or some kind but I'm not sure with megono. Megono is quite dry and savory like fried rice but gudeg is sweet and sloppy served with spicy tempe or spicy cow skin. I know this is not cooking channel but I hope you would try cooking either of those!
😁👍
People from Padang (in Indonesia) either stew it like this (with a lot less liquid tho, like a rendang) or make a yellow curry out of it. Yours look very delicious, hoped you enjoy it :)
Been enjoying your videos. How do you do your research before getting into a new fruit?
Thanks! I'll do some googling and asking other fruit fanatics to see what fruit is available where I am going if I'm traveling. Then I will go and hunt the markets for anything I haven't had. When sometthing stands out, I'll buy it and try to identify the fruit. Then research online what the fruit is and some facts about it. Write a few notes down. Then hit record and go.
Is jackfruit bad for those with latex allergies?
Is unripe jackfruit high in starch? Like an unripe banana?
Jackfruit is like the new tofu.
Yep seems to be
here in the philippines and in thailand we cook it with coconut milk and the only thing we throw is the skin even the core is cooked
Interesting! I'll have to try it next time.
That looked so yummy
Eating it now. It's delicious😋
I tried messing with a ripe(or nearly ripe) jackfruit when I went to Hawaii... that latex is no joke, and I was working outside.
Seeds are so yummy! Just like potatoes!
Raw jackfruit curry is my favourite curry since childhood
I use the flesh of a ripe jack fruit as well in my soup, as long as it is not too ripe.
The curry looks very good! What kind of oil did you use? Can you add lemon juice in place of the green mango powder? Also, are you a vegan?
I just used vegetable oil. Sure I think lemon would work fine. Nope, vegetarian though. :)
I make buffalo jackfruit using canned or pouched green jackfruit. Plenty of tasty 😋
looks like pulled pork
I've seen videos where people make pulled pork sandwiches using jackfruit
Looks like It would work really well as a sub for cooked down pulled pork
Needed some turmeric for colour and a bit of earthiness
Use the canned green jackfruit as 'pulled pork' and flavor it with bb sauce.
Im confused at to why you decided to cut off the outer shell as its not a requirement to rip out the pods or the edible connective tissue.
Try panner indian cheese it is similar to tofu but not smelly
I heard the other day from a guy who makes candy in Florida at Lofty Pursuits that Juicy Fruit gum got their flavor from Jackfruit. Have you ever heard that? I've never tried it, so IDK if they taste similar at all (Juicy Fruit does taste pretty good, though.. even though I haven't had it in over a decade lol)..
yep, thats true
I think ripe jackfruit (l’ve only ever had canned) tastes like banana candy. Delish!
“It looks like there is hair in it”
How I reacted to rice noodles for the first time. 😂
Add some red chilli powder, Turmeric powder & Cumin powder
And salt was not forgotten
That thing seem more like kluwih instead of jackfruit. The seed between jackfruit and kluwih is a bit different. Kluwih seed has hard shell (when they ripe) while jackfruit seed only has thin membrane
The one you showed it was a little too unripe in India we let it grow a few months in the season of summer and then cook it. You should have got a little larger one.
It's Joe from Netflix's YOU LOL
In India, we do not use it when it's That Green...seems less matured and small too. It is commonly called Kathal or Fanas. Very commendable effort nevertheless .
def a tablespoon
You can roast the seeds, evidently it's used as a replacement for chocolate aroma.
They should be boiled or roasted to remove toxic substances.
You should have just said pulled meat. It's a pulled meat substitute, like braised beef, pulled chicken or pork.
It's good, but I'll stick to my meats.
200th episode coming up soon.owh yeah cant wait to see the fruits of latin america
No spoilers but I found a lot of interesting fruits there 😀
I imagine the green stuff would be kind of like Chinese cabbage. Would you say that is accurate?
A little bit, but more rubbery
light green flavor
Put it in a pressure cooker or instant pot in water and cook for 20 minutes.
Cool to touch and then even the full knife will cut the flesh out easily with no mess...
I have heard people slow cooking it in bbq sauce as a "pulled" sandwich.
yep can do. Its got a good texture for that.
I am curious to try it. They had some recently in my supermarket but I had only went in for one thing....unlike every other time I actually only came out with what I went in for!
You're so cute! lol, you could use a wife to help you cook these concoctions!! Your recipes amuse me .
My girlfriends generally will humor me for a bit with the fruit obsession, but draw the line at being in the videos :)
@s times maybe he's poly!
*watching this after stabbing myself trying to open a jackfruit* yes very careful....
I'd say a tablespoon or 1.5 tablespoons of coriander...
Mmmm I love curry
“...because doing it like this is a living nightmare...” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Tablespoon
try adding bbq sauce to make it like pulled pork
Jennifer Barter, no fruit can taste even remotely like pork period!
looks more like a breadnut than a jackfruit
Never eat the seeds raw. Like beans, they have something in them that’s not all that great for you. Like beans, the antinutrients in these seeds disappear when the seeds are cooked
i had a lol moment watching you struggle with that chataigne first you massacre the fruit ever ther less both s
the flesh and seeds are prepared(seeds skin and shell are removed) at this stage the seeds when cooked are nutty. we cooked them both in tumeric , coconut milk salt ,chilli, and culantro minced. until it softens, and liquid almost vanishes. to be eaten with rice or roti , etc,
Can't allergic to latex.
That is not jack fruit,in java we call it timbul,a brother of bread fruit
It’s so funny to me that you say you’re grossed out by meat, but you use tofu as a meat substitute for the texture...
Are you running out of fruits to do reviews on?
Its getting harder to find fruit in the US, but there are tons more out there in the world. I won't be running out any time soon.
first
You cut the jack fruit wrongly
Jackfruit curry is best curry
I will pass on this one... but thanks!
The jackfruit this size does not taste good. And the core is THE BEST PART of the jackfruit. OMG!!! he has thrown out almost all of the jackfruit
I cringe every time Jared uses a knife!
oil up 😈 (your hands)
Make a curry out of it.
man your spices really look like kratom... almost made be barf
that looks disgusting but i bet it tastes awesome
Trypophobia warning!
I'm sorry, but you cooked it wrong way. and I think the Jackfruit you choose is not ideal for the curry.
That recipe hurts me.
haha. It was good!
First of all, that's not jackfruit! That's breadnut or katahar as Caribbean people refer it to. It's normally cook with coconut milk and seasoning.
This is not a jackfruit. This one is called breadnut fruit.
Scientific name: Artocarpus camansi
Nope, this is an unripe jackfruit
Not being rude but that looked awful
Why the fuck would you eat this!?! Let it ripen...oh my god he eats it?
