JACK IT ALL IN

This looks like meat right? WRONG! This little piece of gorgeousness is jackfruit and is the trendy thing in the #vegetarian and #vegan world at the moment. 
____________
Jackfruit is a brilliant fruit grown mostly in India but can grow in any tropical climate. One tree can reportedly grow up to three tonnes of the stuff so an excellent and eco friendly alternative to meat and to the worlds growing population. Sustainable food - yes please! 👏It is sweet in taste yet when it’s unripe and cooked it takes on a savoury flavour and a texture very similar to chicken or pulled pork hence why it’s making such waves in the #vegetarianfood community. 
____________
Nutrition wise it’s got a good whack of protein and fibre (though less fibre than meat so great to combine with another protein rich food such as beans) plus rich in vitamin C, A and magnesium. I buy it tinned (@bionaorganic sell them) and most of the recipes I have found are BBQ or Mexican but it would work equally well in curries also. Enjoy peeps if you are feeling adventurous 🌍🌎🌏
