Aroy-D Young Green Jackfruit in Brine, 20 Ounce (Pack of 6)

Rinse, smash, and flavor it. So easy to work with.I made spiced 'pulled pork' sandwiches and piled it high with a slightly sweet cole slaw. Neither my husband or I are vegetarians/ vegans, but I enjoy having dishes that don't necessarily require flesh, and my husband is open to what I make. He wasn't sure what I used, but could tell it wasn't exactly pork.. but he liked it. Sometimes I just want to try something new, and this had been on my list to try for some time now. This was a pleasant substitute but it certainly isn't a perfect swap (didn't expect it to be). Texture is great for what I made though, so that is important! It could even be used to stretch or mix in with meat for a lightened up version of a dish.I rinsed the fruit well. I tried a piece by itself. Fairly bland as expected, with a hint of watered down artichoke taste. Olive texture? I used two cans, and with a drained weight of 10 oz per can, the amount certainly looked like 1.5-2 lbs of pulled pork. So pretty even. After slow cooking it in several spices and BBQ sauce, the flavoring was delicious. It could have been put together quickly too, with likely same flavor outcome. Paired well with the cole slaw I made. I think my next foray with it will be to make a pulled chicken dish using Mexican flavors. Since I rarely get out to the stores, I figured I would just buy the jackfruit off Amazon, so I can't comment on price. }Item shipped quickly, no damaged or dented cans, product is as described, and it worked for what I wanted to use it for. I don't see any reason not to give the product and experience a full 5 stars at this time.
