Jackfruit, a tropical fruit native to South Asia, is known for its unique flavor and impressive size. The unripe jackfruit, often called 'young jackfruit', has a mild flavor, making it a versatile meat substitute with a stringy texture reminiscent of pulled pork. Ripe jackfruit, on the other hand, boasts a sweet, fruity flavor, similar to a blend of pineapple, mango, and banana. The exterior of the jackfruit is green or yellow, covered in cone-like bumps, while the edible flesh inside is yellow or orange when ripe. Because of the versatility of the texture of jackfruit, it is a common ingredient for people looking for meat alternatives.

Unripe jackfruit should be stored at room temperature until it ripens, indicated by a strong, sweet aroma and slightly softened texture. Ripe jackfruit can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Cut jackfruit should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days. For longer storage, jackfruit can be frozen. To freeze, separate the bulbs, lay them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. Frozen jackfruit can last for several months.
