Jackfruit: How India's ancient fruit became a vegan superstar
With the global rise of veganism, food entrepreneurs, chefs, and consumers are using the unripe jackfruit's fibrous, stringy texture to mimic shredded meat. Rich in nutrients, this ancient fruit is the new base for tacos, kebabs and ready-to-cook meat substitutes. It is now called a superfood for delivering a combination of fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants with very low fat.
