Thank you for making this video cuz nobody else talks about rinsing and boiling the Jackfruit first to get rid of that acidic taste I had given up on it until I tried your recipe.
Hi. I'm not vegan but I was curious about this taco filling. Today, the majority of the fresh Jackfruit is from Mexico. How using fresh "green" jackfruit? It can be found in many asian markets like Vietnamese, chinese and Korean markets. It's really big though, around 15-25 pounds. Green jackfruits would have the "milk" or sap. So, we definitely have to get rid of that somehow. It's not in the one from the can. Must learn how to handle the sap. Many people have a allergic reaction to the sap. It is very sticky also. When using a knife to cut it, it should be oiled first to be sort of non-stick. I'm trying to get a tree going, in southern California.
I made it straight from the can and still liked it. Cant wait to give these tips a go
used your method and had it soak a few hours in meat free chicken broth. legit just tastes like chicken now its delish thanks a lot
Thank you for sharing this chicken broth tip!
I originally was looking for shredded chicken (jackfruit) recipe. I will try it soon!
I have been looking for a tutorial on how to prepare jackfruit for two hours!!! THANK YOU!!! PS you do not look bad! Please treat yourself with kindness.♥️
💯 👏🏾
I'm on the vagan journey. Trying to transition from meat to plant based. I really appreciate all the information about Jackfruit. As I know nothing. Good video!!!
Maya Brown check out Hot for Food with Lauren Toyota. She is a great source for cooking up delicious vegan food! Congratulations on taking steps to better serve your life, environment and all the animals ❤️
I’m with you ❤️❤️❤️
I love Ghetto Vegans here on TH-cam! Marie (the wife of the family) has shown me so much!
Why is everyone going vegan... Just so stupid.
Vagan? Like vag...never mind lol
I also remove the pits/seeds.
Trader Joe’s canned jackfruit is very affordable at $2/can.
I just bought it today!! So excited to try it
Thanks for this tip!
Yes! I always stock up from there
Good to know!! I just canceled my Amazon order $26 for (6) 14 oz Cans. Life saver! 👌🏽🙌🏽
I just tried this recipe and I am so happy. Texture and taste wise a perfect 10. Thank you 😊
It shreds more easily and naturally if boiled for a few minutes.
Yay! Thank you for sharing..you've motivated me to try it!
This is the best method that I have seen. Thank you you for sharing 👏😊🙏
FYI big tip on heating up corn tortillas, wet them first then throw them on a hot pan so they steam and char but they won’t fall apart. You know it’s time to flip em when they come off the pan easily
I loved your video, straight to the point easy to follow instructions, thank you so much and I just subscribed 😋
Nice one. You taught me a lot, especially in regards to the initial washing to rid the acidic taste.
I was really trust this recipe. You weren't over the top with a sales pitch. Cant wait to do this tonite
These look amazing!!!! Thank you for this!
Thank you Elise, I really needed this 😊
You did that👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Im gonna try this tonight!!!
Oh yum I am definitely going to make that I bought two cans of jackfruit and didn't know exactly what to do with them so now I know!! Thanks have a good weekend
So happy I found your video. I literally felt the same way. I prepared some jackfruit tacos and was like why did they not tell me that it was so sour. Yuck. I will definitely add this method. And the agave tip is brilliant as well!
Just made this as you suggested, and it was delicious! Well done. The only thing I did differently was to quick pickle some red onion for the topping. Thank you!
Just marinated my jackfruit taco style and tried one (not so) tiny bit just to see how it would taste and I already know that it’s going to be great! No briny taste at all! Thank you so much.
My husband loved it! thank you for the recipe.
Hi, just viewed your video on preparing Jackfruit. I've been searching for a simple/minimal ingredients recipe, glad I found yours.
I like the tip of how to remove sour taste from the brine ,your recipe is simple and easy tnx
Can’t wait to try this!
Thank you so much that was delicious! 🙏🏼😍
Looks pretty good. I’ve never had canned/ unripened jackfruit. I usually get the fruit quartered for Hmart. It DELICIOUS!!! Tastes like a pineapple and juicy fruit gum made a baby. I will definitely have to try this recipe!!
you have so much to offer to the world... subscribed! ❤️
Thank you🙏🏽✊🏽 I made a roasted chili marinade for this recipe pretty amazing. Great tips ✌🏽
I love tacos too ! Excited to try this recipe!
A game changer! Thank you 😊
Simple video not over the top just perfect -just cooking and explaining with no sales pitchy or agenda good job! Subscribed!
Thank you so much for the tip. I tried the steps to remove the brine flavor just before a pull pork recipe and it tasted great. I will try yout taco recipe as soon as I get some tortillas.
Thank you. Will try this method with an other marinade tomorrow.
I am so looking forward to cooking this recipe thanks for sharing
Thank god, I finally found a recipe that addresses this problem!👍😻
Just got a new subscriber! Yassss what I was looking for!!! ❤️❤️❤️thank you
Thank you! I just tried fresh jackfruit for the first time today. Also bought a can of it in brine, and some already in bbq sauce. Loved the fresh. Had to rinse away some of the BBQ sauce as it was too much and too spicy. But the canned was awful. So I'm glad you showed me what to do with the rest of it.
Thank you - this method worked great!
This is just awesome!! I’m going to try it this weekend 🎉🎉
Such a cute name…I’m Maggie Mae☺️
@@maggiebrown7133 hey 👋
Really well done video, I appreciate this a lot!
Thanks Eliise I have been ordering Jackfruit Lobster rolls from a Vegan restaurant and i want to give it a try at home. Your tips are really helpful
i haven't tried this yet but I imagine adding sage would really benefit your pork flavoring as well since that's what chefs add to sausage to give it that sausage flavor. If you've never tasted sage once you do you'll immediately get what I'm saying.
Amazing. Will try again 😊 Thanks
Wow your method makes so much sense as to why every time I would make canned jackfruit it would taste so bad. LOL I have large canned jackfruit sitting in my pantry that I have been avoiding for months now. I am going to make this using your method. Thank you 💟
Ps. The piano in the background is soooo pretty I couldn’t stop looking it’s a vintage beauty
Yummy:)) it looks delicious thank you
Good video 😃 excited to try make some tacos this week
Yes I decided to pick this up at trader Joe's today it's $199 green jackfruit in brine.
1 lb 4 oz ..wow can't wait to try it thank you💪😁
Thanks for the recipe! I put it on my Instagram and gave you a shout out! Really yummy 😋
I had the same problem, thank you!!
Nice, thorough and good tips👍🏽👌🏽😘
Thanks for this made more sense and easy to follow not just dabbing bbq sauce on it.
Awesome recipe
This looks so good I definitely want to try it as a pulled pork sandwich
Thank you. Will try this fruit again
I love it thank you so much :D this will what I am trying to do now this really help :) you got a new sub here
THANK YOU GIRL!!!!
Eating young/green jack fruit has been done more many many years in Asian countries. In many tropical areas such as Jamaica we have been eating it ripe as often as many Americans eat apples in season.. Its only new to the US, Asian dishes often require it be brined, so that's why you see it that way.
Trying this tonight xo
THANK YOU! I bought a pre-packaged chilli lime jackfruit marinade and it was ridiculously sour and spicy.
I did this as well, works perfect :)
Just bought jackfruit, gonna try my hand at this !
Very helpful thanks so much!
Making it tonight thank you 😊
Great video you should do more. Really easy to follow 👍
Great work! Just suscribed; thank you, Elise!
Great job!
My family used to cook the jackfruit curry. The texture is similar to meat but it's not meat.............. very delicious 😋
Interesting video. Working on a project to market frozen jackfruit instead of the canned product whose sour taste many complain about.
Thank you so much, I couldn't figure out why the jackfruit pot roast that I made tasted like vinegar..I rinsed them & removed the seeds but it wasn't as thorough as you just did, I will be going back in for another shot lol
Thanks for your help! I want to try using jackfruit in a vegan burrito.
Thank you for the tip.
This is DA BEST
thank u for this!!!
Thank you so much, great simple instructions which even I can follow! 😄 I'm gonna try it! By the way, you look beautiful, don't put yourself down!! 😘
This is so helpful because i made it twice and was going crazy that it was bitter after flowing recipes.
Very nice recipe
cool stuff
My mom bought half a jackfruit at the store and I’m attempt to make this!
This looks awesome! Thanks for sharing 🤙🏾
I am going to try this..
Thank you great video ✨
Thank you for this. Liked subscribed
I had bought a jackfruit because it looked weird and I had never seen one. I had to change some things but this was great
This is the best video I've seen on preparing jackfruit. Thanks
Thank you
Thanks for this, not a Vegan but I am making some beef cheek barbacoa for Xmas and I wanted to make something for my nephew so he doesn't feel left out or miss out on glorious taco fun :) Actually super interested to try this myself as I've never had jackfruit at all. Looks like they sell it in water here in Australia, so I might have an easier time of it!
FINALLY someone who knows how to cook jackfruit ! so refreshing.
Have not had tacos in a while. Trying to figure out how to use jack fruit properly as a substitute for meat, saving this video, just need one more can of Jack Fruit and I love the Better Than Boullion paste, got some now in the fridge, going to put this on for tomorrow, as tomorrow is Tuesday, may season tonight to get added flavor. And girl, I am the same way, don't like wasting food!!
Thank youuuuu!!!
I'm so glad you did this video! I hate that sour taste!
I thought this video was awesome. Shows another way of having jackfruit. I like mine sweet and I put it in my smoothies. But I would try it like this to see. Street taco style!
Looks like hard work
Thank you.
Thank u for the video cool
Thank you for your video. I think you look just fine. I like seeing real people.
If you go to an Asian supermarket you can buy fresh jackfruit. It’s sweet and tastes like mango or pineapple combined with banana… fantastic! Try it if you can find it where you live.
Okay so you're literally the first video i've seen on Jack fruit and had no idea it came in a can, because of the "fruit" in the name I thought it was in the produce section lol! definitely trying thanks!
You can buy it fresh in some stores. Looks hard to cut though.
I'm going to try this. I opened the can and immediately it smelled so strange. Almost like some kind of medical facility sanitizer or formaldehyde. I didn't' t enjoy the smell of it at all. I had heard that it supposedly tasted like pork but this didn't taste like anything savory at all. It tasted very odd. Even the acidity was not pleasant and I really don't mind acidic foods. In fact I rather enjoy a nice pungent dish. This stuff was just ODD! LOL Thanks for the video. Definitely going to give this a try. Hopefully my next try, I will actually enjoy it.
I’m thinking of making jackfruit pot roast for thanksgiving. Do you think this method would work if I leave the jackfruit in chunks instead of shredding it?
Agave made it perfect 😛
Hi, can you please share the recipe of the sause which you marinated the Jackfruit, thank you
I'm in the UK and our jackfruit is just canned in water so not sure it will be acidic? Will boil it anyway. Trying to cut down on the amount of processed meat alternatives I'm eating cos I'm reading bad things about it every day.
Pro-tip in making jackfruit taste better:
Eat it FRESH.
