FBR Loves Jackfruit

Jackfruit is the largest tree fruit in the world, reaching up to 100 pounds.

Used in Vegan “Pulled pork” substitute, soups, and so much more. Native Forest_® says, “It’s a great alternative to chicken and pork. Its fleshy interior has a meaty texture similar to chicken. As it cooks, it flakes & shreds, making it ideal for vegan pulled pork and chicken recipes. A mild flavor makes it a great base for sauces and seasonings.”

It has been called the “miracle” food because it provides so many nutrients and calories.

How to shred jackfruit to look like shredded chicken.

1. Take the “Fruit Pods” aka chunks of jackfruit and shred them with 2 forks just like you would do to pull apart and shred chicken.

2. You can also use a potato masher or Veggie Burger/Jackfruit Chopper in a pan while cooking the jackfruit. See details on how to cook my FBR Shredded Seasoned Jackfruit Recipe.
