I first came across jackfruit a few years ago when my sister mentioned this new fruit that, if cooked correctly, can mimic the texture of pulled pork. At the time, the vegetarian and vegan ‘fake meat’ offerings were largely of a similar calibre: highly processed, brown and soy based. So, the idea that we could take a fruit and turn it into ‘meat’ was exciting. It varies among non-meat eaters but for me, I didn’t stop eating meat because I didn’t like the taste, I did it because of the animal cruelty. So I jumped at the chance to turn a healthy fruit into a ‘meat’ substitute!
