A fresh weekend morning at the farm with a friend.

@pacific06 I'm in Oklahoma, USA, and I've never heard of jackfruit before. But DuckDuckGo tells me it's sold here, so I'm gonna buy some and try it!
@courtcan The internet is amazing you have now discovered that jackfruit exists and you are going to try it!
I would love to hear what you think after tasting it. Please let me know how you find it🫣

Asked a question: what would you say it is like in taste when raw?
When raw and ripe, it’s sweet, juicy, and has a tropical fruity taste, with a slightly chewy texture.
I mostly use it when unripe, when the edible bit has a tender, stringy texture that matches pulled roasted meat nicely. Simmered with spices then browned in a pan or oven, it is a good topping for sandwiches or used in barbecue.

@courtcan Please have a taste of it and tell us how it tastes. Should we plant more or less?
Then you will have to visit Africa, Uganda, and you’ll find plenty of them here. Hhhhh

@pacific06 didn't know you can eat jackfruit raw. In Europe we pretty much only get access to boiled and canned jackfruit. Delicious with some salt and seasoning
@ar_do Are you serious???

@econetwork @pacific06 I would love to visit Uganda! Africa is a part of the world I haven't seen yet. Goals!

️@courtcan Following our work might make you even more interested in visiting Africa someday.
If you’re interested, you can keep following us and stay in touch with us. Maybe one day you can come and visit Uganda, and we can host you, show you around, and you can learn and experience things with us. Hhh

@cthulku This is really new to me and to everyone in my community. I’m wondering how this happens!
As I said before, we only eat fresh, ripe jackfruit, and we eat the soft inner fruit. It’s really interesting to see that some people eat jackfruit this way.

A fresh weekend morning at the farm with a friend. We smelled a ripe jackfruit, found it near the ground, opened it, and ate it right there.
Straight from the tree to our digestive systems!
How do you eat jackfruit in your region? Any recipes?

@pacific06 I see those enormous jackfruit in the grocery here and find them intimidating! One of my kids uses the jackfruit, pulled into shreds in savory spices for tacos, she likes it cooked like that.

It's mostly sold canned here as "young green jackfruit", or already processed into over-expensive fake meat. I prefer doing the processing myself, so that I can know what's going into it, and so that it has the exact flavour and texture that I like.
In the can, it's cut into wedges, where the outer fibrous material -- which is usually not eaten when ripe, I think -- is what is most desired. The seeds are there, but they are tender and edible as well, and I usually include them, albeit mashed a bit.
I have had proper, ripe jackfruit once, and it was delicious! Right up there with mangoes for deliciousness, although obviously not tasting that similar.

@pacific06 We fry the seeds and eat with salt

@ditsch42 Yes, they can grow really big!
I have heard about using jackfruit as a vegan chicken substitute. Have you ever tried it that way in Germany even though they are not yet common in German?
@pacific06 @ditsch42
i bought 1/8 #jackfruit at the arabic market to cook danish dish #tarteletter, small crispy pastries filled with a beige sauce with aspargus, peas and — unfortunately — #chicken flesh.for those traditional dishes, jackfruits are an excellent kill-free replacement.
it's good to pre-oil the knife or it'll be tough to clean!
