I'm South Indian and I'd just like to add some info:
If you're going to cook jackfruit, use a raw or semi-ripe fruit for a better result. It'll take longer to cook because the pods are thicker, but since you're not starting out with the sweetness of the ripe pod it will absorb the spices better. (Add a little bit of honey if you really need the sweet taste).
The ripe version you can eat as is, or it can be made into desserts like ice cream and such.
The long thin strands you see around the pods (2:23) are also edible; they are especially suited to this type of
cooking. Even in the ripe fruits they do not get too sweet - and they cook faster since they are thinner and smaller. Try those the next time!
The seeds are some of most nutritious things found in nature. They don't taste much like anything but contain just about every nutrient under the sky that we need and are also rich in fiber and antioxidants. Do NOT eat them raw under any circumstance; dry-roast them in cast iron for best results.
You should do an updated vid with a semi-ripe version (it's perfect for cooking when the pods are ju-u-u-ust starting to turn colour from white to gold).
thank you for this info!!!
Can someone get jackfruit in the US?
You answered my question, mostly. I want to know how this fruit is if you don't make "meat" from it. Sweet? Like a melon? Pinneapple?
@@AlvaSudden Ripe jackfruit is sweet - in fact, It's sweeter and more delicious than most desserts you can think of. Its texture and flavor are unique; I find myself unable to compare it to any other fruit.
It will also stay fresh in the refrigerator for 4-6 days (but it WILL vanish overnight if you have kids).
Raw jackfruit has a bland taste, but it contains a lot of starch (that has not been converted to sugar yet) so it can be used to make chips and other crispy foods; this is why it works better for cooking. Also since the ripe version is rich in natural sugars it can increase your blood sugar, so it is not recommended for diabetics - another reason why the raw version is preferred for cooking.
If you're wondering how to tell the difference: just smell the fruit. Ripe jackfruit will have a very sweet smell.
Hi Gwise thanks so much for taking the time to share all of this information. I am just wanting to be clear about something. When you are saying raw (which to me means uncooked) do you mean uncooked? Or are you using this term to mean unripe... (which to me means picked before the conversion of starch to sugars and not quite "ready to pick" as it is still able to stay on the tree)?
To me it seems you are using "raw" the way I would use "unripe" but I want to understand you clearly as I loved what you shared. Thanks!!!
who else isn’t vegan or vegetarian but just enjoys these kinda vids for some reason?
Me their awesome
I'm not Vegan, but he makes cooking fun. Sadly, I like being a carnivore too much to ever try any of his seemingly endless vegan recipes, but I'm content to watch.
Yeah im a big meat eater i just love watching these videos say if i dont have meat in the fridge and have other alternatives i think i would make some of this
I'm always fascinated with faux meat. So I find this interesting too. If I can, I will make it and enjoy eating it.
Not vegan I just like to eat a variety of food. I eat meat but keep it to a small amount
This guy just radiates good energy
Aww that’s such an amazing comment! Thank you
Neiled it
I bet he’s like wayne gacy. Lol
I made it and it was amazing! I even fooled my husband into believing it was real pulled pork😂 He really liked it.
Thank you so much for this! Love your energy!
Raw Jackfruit is better for cooking. Ripe jackfruit may be too sweet, and is very often eaten as is, without cooking.
I totally agree. I've had both versions and using raw jackfruit for the pulled pork tastes much better...
In California jackfruit is so expensive I can only eat it raw for the taste! I can’t afford to make 6 cups into 3 cups of cooked jackfruit with all the work! I go for the easy delicious route!

You can fool your taste bud but not your stomach. In 30 minutes, it'll complain and ask for real protein.
In the Philippines we cook jackfruit when it is unriped typically with coconut milk & malunggay (moringa) leaves. Also, Juicy Fruit gum was meant to be flavored to mimic jackfruit. We have them in our farm and jackfruit that is ripes is my favorite!
I'm from Assam, India, and raw jackfruit curry is actually a local dish relished during May-June here. We also make pickles out of raw jackfruit. Jackfruit curry, when cooked with proper spices actually tastes better than mutton or so
I once ate one piece of the Jackfruit when I woke up the next day I had stretchy arms and legs

How do you say it? Here we say whuh-shehs-ter or whust-a-shur

I am fairly sure he was trying to say 'Worcestershire' not ' Worcester', Worcester is the region in England that Worcestershire Sauce (Lea & Perrins the original) is made. Only locals and people from the UK and Australia call it 'Worcester Sauce' (pronounced - 'wu·
stuh') for short. I have never heard an American use the term "Pass the Worcester sauce". They are always trying to say "Worcestershire".
@@surgicalglitch3265 They call it "Woostersher" sauce
Too ripe. You need a young green jackfruit.
In Brasil we make diferent.
You can just boil it for like an hour and half, and stirfry. But, I understand this is how the fake pulled-pork is made.
@@julianarodrigues1904 That's true! I was about to say that.
One can also use that fiber part to make something that resembles chicken (me & my family had a "chicken" pie quite a few times; 'tis great!). The fruit need to be green/raw, though.
But, concerning the video, it's interesting that that the pods can also be used to mimic pork. We haven't tried that.
UtilityBillAudits he clearly said he let it sit for to long after they got it 🙄
@@perkodannyalways boil it for an hour?
Jack fruit is finally in my local market. I’m going to use this process for red “pork” tamales. Thank you for this video
MMMMM Send me some pics if you make it!!
I actually tried this a few days ago and I almost went vegan, it is THAT good.
Just had my first Jackfruit "Pulled Pork" sandwich today. It was delicious! Now I know how to make it at home. Thanks for this video with easy to follow instructions.
Lies
literally everything but the outer skin is highly edible like 90% of the fruit you can consume, and the core you can chop up also and cook :)
I didn't know you could eat the core! That's cool. What about all the latex in it?
Wish I would have read this earlier
You can even boil the seed and eat it like snack, my mom used to boil leftover seeds when I was younger. It has starchy texture (think potato), you peel off it outer skin and eat the core of the seed. Caution, might cause flatulence if you eat too much
"wor-chester-shire" ... I love hearing all the ways people pronounce this stuff xD

Your videos are inspiring me to try more vegetarian stuff as although I love taste of meat I can’t ignore the cruelty involved, so thank you!
I just finished this sandwich. It was GREAT! I didn't miss the pork. It was superb! I did use my own dry rub and added some liquid smoke
Roasted or even boiled jackfruit seeds taste amazing. They're also considered to be a superfood
Freaking DELICIOUS!!!! I just made it tonight and used the leftover broth to make White+Brown Jasmine Rice+Farro and that came out Super DELICIOUS too!!!!
Yum!
It is even better roasted in the ground and covered with banana leaves and dirt on top of the leaves.
Awesome video, as usual! I live in South East Asia, and eat jackfruit regularly (I LOVE honey jackfruit, especially when chilled). My grandmother, who’s pescatarian, often uses it in her cooking as a substitute for meat. It’s amazing in curry!
I bet it would be incredible in curry!!!! You're lucky to be able to eat this amazing fruit regularly! When I saw it in the store I was shocked. Its a tough find in Florida!
I went on a mission trip in the Philippines and the people cooking for us made jack fruit dishes all the time and i can say for sure it is a very meaty texture which would be great for pulled pork.
I have always wondered about jackfruit, I can´t find it anywhere here in Spain, man it looks like such a versatile fruit, Can´t believe what it looked like at then end, it seriously looked like pulled pork!!!!! incredible video and tutorial Mark
Thanks again Albert!! I wonder if you would have better luck finding canned jackfruit! Keep me in the loop on this. Maybe I can send you some
I tried this recipe. All instructions are correct and clear except one. It should be 350 Deg Fahrenheit for 1:30 hrs or 180 Deg Celsius for 1:30 hrs. I had to learn this the hard way :) Anyway I appreciate Mark's great efforts and thank him for sharing this video.
raw jackfruit sauteed in garlic and onion + coconut milk + curry powder (optional) 😉
Not Vegan but eat for health. And for taste. The things you are doing with food are so necessary in today's world. For example, the grapefruit rind chicken..amazing the stuff you are doing.
Keep it up!
You're supposed to cook with it when it's still green and unripe so it has a more neutral flavor and flaky texture that is even more so like pulled pork. Once it's ripe, it's too sweet for savory dishes...
Good to know, thanks!
Some ppl like sweet pulled pork. And he even said he let it go too long, and even said with it being sweet u can cut out adding sugar.
For a chicken dish id go less sweet tho, like you said, for more of a savory taste.
Too bad when you live in Minnesota and they only have the brown looking ones
@@mmdd1996 Buy it in the can
It took me a while to think about it he’s the Vegetarian Alton Brown. They love what they do, and break down all the technical stuff, and make it entertaining.
Just found this channel and subscribed. Im not vegan or plan on ever plan totally on following it strictly but i do want to eat mostly plant based. I really like how you present it as "hey check out this awesome tasty looking thing, and its also vegan". And it looks bomb and i want to try to make most of them.
Love this guy! He is funny, innovative and so positive! His recipes are all fantastic
I am buying you a grill / smoker. I can't let you keep on with this lifestyle lol. Looked great though. Jackfruit was in my local market this last summer, I just never bought any.
BWAHAHAHAHH I have a Kenmore Propane grill, a Webber go anywhere, and a char broil offset smoker!! I still have plenty of tricks to show you guys! ;)
Poopy butt fart crack BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAH
Chronic Dewey ???
Ive been using jackfruit for a while now. I will admit, I was skeptical at first until I tried it. Hands down the best substitute for pulled pork or jerked chicken recipes. Unless you are feeding food critics they will never know the difference. Great video! Thanks.
I’ve always been intimidated by the jackfruits at the korean supermarket lol
Maybe I’ll try it now!
Thanks for the recipe!
I finally made this dish today. I was very pleased with it.
You're having too much fun taking that thing apart! lol Good Stuff Mark!
hahah it was kinda wild tearing it apart hahahah thanks man
Wooster Sauce - this is the easiest pronounciation or Worsestershire Sauce, it's comonly used in the UK where I am from and yes I am English. Great recipe, I have done this a few time in the past but used young Jackfruit so just needed to remove the green skin and chop the inside into 2" pieces before roasting, comes out great. I'm so glad to see you dont used tinned jackfruit.
All that work and you have enough for 2 sandwiches lol
Bradley Persefield that’s why u don’t go vegan

After browsing all your channel, I'm blown away. Genius, your a genius!!! I don't know how you invented all these recipies. I'm gong to have so much fun diving in. Thank you , Thank you , Thank you
DUDE! Awesome video! Thank you so much for the information. I looked up how to consume the jack fruit seeds and after boiling them for an hour and letting them cool, and removing their thin outer skin, they taste a bit like a garbanzo bean mixed with a potato and you can put them on everything!
Thats awesome!!!! Ill have to try that next time!! Thank you for the info
I made this without the chipotle (didn't have any) so I used other seasonings and OMGOSH... FANTASTIC.. The kids loved it and unfortunately my husband is not a sweet meat person..but he eats what I cook..
*Fail. Use immature jackfruit and not just the fleshy arils.
Raw jackfruit cooking may be the tradition in some parts of the world. Nothing wrong in breaking it. After all, cooking method varies across geography and culture.
@@thirdeye460 Fair enough. But call it semi-ripe jackfruit aril cooking.
@@nagwagi2000 you don't have to be a dick. You can do it both ways
Here in the Philippines, there is a variety of fruit we call Marang which is like the cross between Durian and Jackfruit. It is also smelly and taste a bit like durian but the peal is similar to jackfruit.
Is it just me, or do your teaspoons look more like double tablespoons?
THANK YOU i thought they were huge
I literally came to the comments to see if anyone else said this.
Love this! I’m seeking more ways to eat a plant based diet and your channel is helping me so much!
Hi, loved the Jackfruit Pulled Pork video - going to have to give it a try! Just two things I'd like to mention. I'm from the UK, where Worcestershire sauce comes from: the pronunciation is not as it's spelt - it's pronounced woo-stuh-sher. Also, in the North of England we have something similar called Henderson's Relish which is totally vegan - also (speaking as a Northerner) superior to Worcestershire sauce 😜
Good job! as an asian, its a very good alternative to meat dishes, I suggest you use an unripened jackfruit coz it is not sweet and the texture is much more thread like
you shoud have cooked the fibrous part too. It gives nice chewy texture. or cook it the indian way.
wait we can use those? omg im wasting jackfruit ;-;
What is the Indian way of cooking it?
@@jenniferdearinger6139 Well we use raw jackfruit for savoury dishes.
How do you cook those though? I tried tonight and it was very chewy and rubbery. Not edible at all.
Is it because I didn’t truly let the fruit boil for that long? I boiled it for maybe 25 minutes. The pot was filled almost to the top.
Thank you so much!!! I'm vegetarian. Have missed my barbeque. Got my 1st Jackfruit last week and came by you.last night. I'm so excited. Thank you for your meat like vlogs !! I'll be watching and trying them, 💚😊
Sheeka and I had a 80 pound jackfruit and ate vegan BBQ for days.
I wish I could find one that big!! When are we going to universal?
Sauce Stache whenever you are ready! Tell me the time and place and lets go!!
Yo you guys actually know eachother irl? Thats nice.
I find it funny how everyone is telling him what he was supposed to use, maybe do your own show?? This looks GREAT to me!🤤
Hey VSAUCE! Micheal here!
BWhahaha I get that a lot
funny 😐
You do this with organic (Tesco) banana peel: chop into fine bits, grill with whatever, I like firey palm oil, & stir in yeast (Marmite or Vegemite). If you want a good kick; dry fry it in with good old Scottish haggis (Tesco), onion & mushrooms. Don't forget to drop a dash of whisky in. Enjoy with you favourite pint😉
That sounds awesome!!.... I'm from the US we don't have (Tesco)
Sauce Stache can we try it with a different kind?
You can eat the yellow flesh from the seeds, it’s amazing and a local snack in Asia.
great video! I love jackfruit, we have it everywhere here in Brazil
Love Jackfruit. Flavor breminds me of juicyfruit
It would be awesome to have a Jackfruit playlist!!!
I really think you did that wrong. For this recipe you don’t want a ripe jackfruit. You want a young one. A ripe jackfruit brings too much sweetness and fruitiness.
Also, you don’t want to throw away those fibers. That’s a huge waste. The fibers are the best part and give the real texture of pulled pork. You can even use the core. Honestly, the fruit pods bring the least to the table. It’s all about the surrounding fibers. They even look like pork when raw.
And add tamari sauce, liquid smoke, and nutritional yeast for depth.
Not every is a pro when it comes to cooking things first time. In switzerland we dont even have jackfruit. I know it only from youtube 😂
well aren’t you an expert
Bro I love this guy's recipes
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your video. No bull shit just to the point. You have a pleasant personality. Thank you.
Thank you!!
Excellent video I’m doing a vegan meal prep for a client this weekend and I will be using this recipe and give you a shout out!
In my country we have a lot of traditional dishes made from jackfruit but I like to eat it raw.
I love it!
That's what she says
Please try to stir-fry the fibrous parts outside the pods with BBQ sauce, it is delicious! They called it "miracle fruit" also because you can eat almost everything inside a jackfruit!
“Almost indistinguishable from pulled pork”.
“Your optimism is miss placed Asgarden”
In the Philippines we use the very young jackfruit where the fruit is still white. If it starts yellowing we do not cook it anymore. We just let it fully ripen

Awww thanks Gloria!!! You're awesome!! Glad you enjoyed this and happy new year to you!

What I want to see is how to turn pulled pork into fruit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uncook it, add some sugar and maple syrup, throw it in the trash, pull out the other banana you've been hiding in the trash, and kaboom
Kill a pig, bury it in the garden and stick one of the seeds on top of it. Come back 10 years later. You're welcome.
Make a pig watch Rent
You can also boil its seeds then peel it and eat it. Taste like peanut. Delicious
Well I had a heart attack to couple years ago I’m fully recovered but I definitely can never eat pork again I’m gonna try this bro😜🤘💯🙌🙌🔥🔥
Wow scary right! glad you are fully recovered and trying new things! You'll enjoy this. Sometimes you can find Jackfruit pulled pork prepackaged in the veggie sections at stores.. thats pretty great too!
2023, I just took my barbecue out the oven. It is heaven. The best recipe for jackfruit. Now I will try the seeds.
I have tree that makes jackfruit at a park that no one goes so it's deserted except when me and my dad or friends go there.😄☺
You’re so cool! Thanks for this, so very helpful!!!!
Thank you!!
Is there a way to make pork taste like jackfruit?
Ah, this guy gets it.
The title of the video is retarded. Turning fruit into pork, because I'm a warlock and can do that.
If you make pulled pork it tastes just like BBQ Jackfruit. Yum!
i wish you were my roommate cause i would be in a whole awesome world of good eats . congrats to you my man you have a new subscriber
I LOVE Jackfruit. Never thought of cooking it. I will be now!
This makes me feel a lot less scared to try jackfruit! Thank you!
You should def try it!! It can be crazy good!
I have had curry jackfruit and it was delicious. Tasted like boneless curry chicken. It wasn’t a fully matured Jackfruit I guess so it wouldn’t be sweet. Shout out to Abidon in Jamaica he made it for me.
Nice!! Yeah I think commonly you wouldn't want to use a fully ripe jackfruit. But it was still really great! I bet the curry jackfruit was amazing!
how did u resist not just eating fruit itself omg i was salivating when u were cutting it open
I would like to know how firm it is after it has cooked, I normally try and cook meat so that it will pull apart with just a fork. Does the Jackfruit have the same type of consistency. Its a good question for people with digestive issues.
It is very very tender.
I made this but used apple wood smoked beacon as a garnish for a better natural smoked flavor
Wor-chester-shire... Never heard that one before. 👏👏👏😂
Absolutely love fresh jackfruit.. best fruit in the world. Could eat it everyday for the rest of my life.
Hope you made a video on making a curry with the jackfruit seeds :)
Jackfruit = Superglue. Forget to oil ur knife and Rest In Peace knife.
That's sadly reltable
So my knives from the dollar store are a no-go lol
What a fun show. New Subscriber here. You have a great personality sir.
Thank you!!!
I'm shocked at how much it cooked down. Went from 6 cups to barely 3 cups. Looked good i would definetly give it a taste.
Its crazy right? When you are working with it it feels like so much, but its not a lot!
It is mostly water and it is a fruit which tend to not hold onto water when cooked.
In India we cook it in a different way.
Consider my palate quite intrigued.
It's pretty amazing honestly!! Gotta give it a try. Sometimes you can find already prepared BBQ jackfruit in the stores!
This fruit is the prime inspiration for Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit gum. They taste very similar!
The way American say worcester sauce 😂 TH-cam Italian saying it, its even funnier 😭
hahaha I know I can't say it! I'm going to look that up :P
It’s not Americans. It was him
Worcestershire sauce....
Not Worcester
I’ve been looking for a recipe like this! Yes!
I remembered the fruit Jackfruit has very strong smelly than durian. I did ate raw of jackfruit is taste like “cold custard” also does same of durian. I heard that jackfruit could converted to mock pork by cooking it with spices and sauce. I would like try “mock pork” for one day.
Dang. I'm making some pulled pork this Sunday. Thanks for the idea!
"how does it feel to get mistaken for a hedgehog?" Ohhhhhh pew pew pew pew peewwwwww jackfruit just got raosted
Your videos are so cool!!
Thank you so much!
Cook Raw jackfruit instead rippen one
Wow.. I have never liked the tinned jackfruit, but watching this, I may purchase a fresh jackfruit and give this recipe a go. However, i will use my air oven to reduce the length on the ele bill. Thank you
Tbh we just pronounce it Wooster sauces, makes life a lot easier

Ide love to try that. Thanks for sharing. And wow that cooked doen to 2 sandwiched. Or just looked small and looked good have a great week. God bless
Fun fact: even though the fruit smells and tastes like juicy fruit gum it's just a funny coincidence. The flavor was created in a lab before the jack fruit was even discovered.
Thats awesome !! love fun facts! its WILD how much it smells and taste like the gum
@@SauceStache correction: it was discovered much sooner but not commonly imported until much after the release of the gum. It's believed to be based on a chemical called isoamyl acetate which is a common byproduct of whiskey distillery.
@@SauceStache I want to try it so bad.
They had juicy fruit 2 to 3,000 years ago?
@@timaldridge84 please read the correction I made
I have to try this. In the Caribbean where I am from we just eat it raw. I hate jackfruit so much but I've always had many trees in my backyard, now I wont have to suffer haha
