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.
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
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 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!
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.
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.
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 🇮🇳
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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 👍
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
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!
Lady you are throwing away the best part of the fruit, that part you can either boil with salt peel the tiny skin off and eat or curry it . I am speaking about the seed that you just throw away.
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 stumbled across your video as I was searching for images and uses of jackfruit. I've never eaten Jack fruit, but I saw a recipe for a "meatless" BBQ sandwich that used Jack fruit instead of pulled pork, beef, chicken, etc. Thank you for showing us a great option.
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 👍🇺🇸❤️🇹🇹
I saw this at shoprite and I’m very big on kids trying new fruits and myself. I love it!! It’s delicious. I watched your video to see how to eat it and I’m now addicted to your channel! Thank you!!
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.
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!
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 🤗
Mexican General Santa Ana, after Winning the Alamo, and after being defeated by Sam Houston and spending a few years in a jail cage,, became a New York notoriety. At one party he was telling a gentlemen that his men could march all day by just chewing on a sap from a tree. The man he told that to,, was a guy named William Wrigley and the rest is history. And now we know how he flavored it??
Frozen up till 15min ago. We got fresh for the restaurant and its really a total difference. Very good. Sweet like a mango mixed pineapple . frozen does it NO justice. We make it into pulled pork substitute. Be better with this fresh one tho. Didnt know what was edible etc when curtting open so arribed on your video
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 .
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
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!
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 ?
My mom bought a half sliced Jack Fruit from a local Mexican grocery store. It tastes good, but it has a taste that can not be compared to anything we ever tasted.
That is a great video. I really want some now. I am going to check local markets. I'm also going to try growing if I can. I feed a lot of people. What a blessing something like this would be. :D
I live near Houston (in Texas), so when I saw a whole jackfruit in my local Kroger I thought “I have to know what this is” so now I’m definitely gonna try it.
Great video!! I love to learn about other cultures and their cooking! I’m learning about jack fruit, because my daughters are vegan and the fruit can be cooked like you would cook chicken or beef because of the texture! Thank u for the video!
Lol! I definitely have to respond to the remark you made back in 2015. 99¢ a pound was then. It’s December 8, 2023 and everything is expensive because of inflation! Geesh! 🤦🏾♂️
What’s going on with the camera? It looks like the entire house is moving around out of sink, like Nausea in Minecraft. Was it set to like auto stabilize or something?
I wanna downvote this because it makes me crave jackfruit SOO much!!!!!!! ahhh!!!!! I tried it for the first time last week :-) The way you described it when you tried it: I UNDERSTOOD!!!
I had a whole one last weekend all to myself!!! Love them! However, she did not mention the sap in the fruit when you cut one open. Check out other videos where they show you how to avoid getting the sap from inside the fruit on your hands & knife. I just put rubber gloves on & had a wad of paper towel on hand!
Great educational video !!! We tried the Jack Fruit for the first time today and it's amazing, delicious and so unique flavor we really enjoyed . Thank you for your video it gave us the tip we needed !!!
You are most welcome, I really appreciate the feedback. So glad you enjoyed the fruit makes me wanna have some as I am sitting here replying my comments... lol
I’ve had sandwiches with bbq jackfruit and dried jackfruit and I like it! I’ve been wanting to try it fresh but usually it’s only sold as a whole! Today at work they had some cut so I bought it and just tried it! It’s very interesting!

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 😁
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
Hujan Sent Is that good?
Hello There LOL! I was going to ask the same question
wanda j - Bon appetit
Hello There Not so much actually but your pee will smell a bit disgusting and dark urine
how does it taste?
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!
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

+*heartbeatnailz* Ruthie S. Wow so happy for you guys! I can't imagine having that tree in my backyard!
I would love some
Can you post a picture 😊
When she said it brought memories I really said awwww 🥺
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
Why does it look like your kitchen cabinets are breathing?!?
I was so confused on what parts you eat and don't eat it, this helps! It's my first time ever eating one! And it taste sweet!!
I heard jackfruit tastes like Juicy Fruit gum.
+Mateoski Productions
It really does!
Tnx KRISTOHESUS CREATOR for jackfruit
Resonance Elvis Cuisines yyggp
Mateoski it Really does u should try it
Mateoski it kinda tastes like strawberry ice cream
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

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.
I heard if you have a latex allergy that this fruit could be a problem...
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.

I didn't start with Twitter, but the rest of my story is the same.
Lol try durian. THAT'S an experience you won't forget lol
@@anam5099 it stinks, right?
@@simmiedavissimmiesings8185 yup. Like morning breath 🤣🤣
I'm considering doing a Jack Fruit Cobbler. I'll let you know.
hands get sticky dont forget to use bit of oil to get rid of the sticky stuff from your fingers
Thank you so much for this advice! I was about to go insane after pulling apart my first fruit.
Pillow Kitty rub coconut oil or some type of edible oil on your hands before touching the inside of the jackfruit.
Thank you for this helpful comment.

First time I ever tried this, I was in Jamaica !! Now every time since, nothing compares!!! Lol 😂
I wonder if all of the dislikes are from people that hated the taste at first/bought a durian haha
There was a jack fruit at sprouts, 24.99 for the whole thing.. just one fruit in the bin. I had to look it up.

I was always afraid to buy it because I didn't know how to cut it. Thank you, will try now!
Thank you I never tried before but I want to buy
I want to try it was told it's costly. Can you cook it
So good!
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.

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.
idk wat dis is but it looks so cool
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....
Very delish fruit. Jackfruit grows favorably in tropical Africa so we mostly have it in its freshness.
Yumm lucky you! It is not cheap here
I got a jack fruit piece for the first time ever thanks for teaching me how to eat it!
Favorite fruit but costly
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
Aditi Singh can you use it in stir fry?
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
in indonesia too :)
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!
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.
My mom bought a half sliced Jack Fruit from a local Mexican grocery store. It tastes good, but it has a taste that can not be compared to anything we ever tasted.
Haha very expensive..... Lol in germany it costs 12 Dollar a kilogram
I've had jackfruit and it's my favorite fruit ever since, It's like having all my favorite fruits altogether, it's delicious and so meaty
That is a great video. I really want some now. I am going to check local markets. I'm also going to try growing if I can. I feed a lot of people. What a blessing something like this would be. :D
Thank you so much for making this video, I can’t wait to try it! There is an Asian market near by, I’ll try it!
I would love to know how you liked it!
I live near Houston (in Texas), so when I saw a whole jackfruit in my local Kroger I thought “I have to know what this is” so now I’m definitely gonna try it.
I paid 20 usd for one giant one at a local fruit store it. I LOVE this fruit.
Who’s here after cardi b video 😭
😂😂😂😂
If you go to papa John's and ask for their vegan pizza, it's jackfruit pepperoni, bloody amazing, doesn't bung your stomach up, nice pizza. £10
Great video!! I love to learn about other cultures and their cooking! I’m learning about jack fruit, because my daughters are vegan and the fruit can be cooked like you would cook chicken or beef because of the texture! Thank u for the video!
Lol! I definitely have to respond to the remark you made back in 2015. 99¢ a pound was then. It’s December 8, 2023 and everything is expensive because of inflation! Geesh! 🤦🏾♂️
What’s going on with the camera?
It looks like the entire house is moving around out of sink, like Nausea in Minecraft.
Was it set to like auto stabilize or something?
out of SINK😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@reynzzz. ... I don’t get it
I wanna downvote this because it makes me crave jackfruit SOO much!!!!!!! ahhh!!!!! I tried it for the first time last week :-) The way you described it when you tried it: I UNDERSTOOD!!!
I had a whole one last weekend all to myself!!! Love them! However, she did not mention the sap in the fruit when you cut one open. Check out other videos where they show you how to avoid getting the sap from inside the fruit on your hands & knife. I just put rubber gloves on & had a wad of paper towel on hand!
Great educational video !!! We tried the Jack Fruit for the first time today and it's amazing, delicious and so unique flavor we really enjoyed . Thank you for your video it gave us the tip we needed !!!
You are most welcome, I really appreciate the feedback. So glad you enjoyed the fruit makes me wanna have some as I am sitting here replying my comments... lol
I live in Toronto. I see jackfruit in supermarkets many times. I have never tried it before.
I found dried jackfruit at Costco. I tasted it, and it’s not too sweet, the flavor reminds me a mix between mango and pineapple. It’s delicious.
I’ve had sandwiches with bbq jackfruit and dried jackfruit and I like it! I’ve been wanting to try it fresh but usually it’s only sold as a whole! Today at work they had some cut so I bought it and just tried it! It’s very interesting!
Just had it first time today, tastes like a medicine syrup! Good though 😅. Thanks.
You sound like your from Minnesota too lol! By the way its not meant as an insult. Also your video was very informative.
Rubbery, tastes like lychee but hard to describe it. Sweet and savory. Would try again. It’s texture is really interesting and a cool looking fruit.
