5.0 out of 5 stars Superb product. And it's BIG
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023
The only not-so-good thing about this product is that it's really big – maybe even too much for just one day. But considering the price, it's a good idea to cook a lot at once and save some for later in the fridge.

At first, I was a little worried because it was cheaper than other options. But I'm happy I picked this one. It has a lot of Jack fruit inside, so it's a great deal. It tastes better and is better quality compared to the smaller cans that only have a few pieces.

I'm also happy to know that this product comes from Sri Lanka, a place where Jack Fruit trees are plentiful. It's nice to have a connection to where it's from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product if you want to reduce meat consumption
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2023
As a diabetic, it would be easy to eat way too much meat. Jackfruit is a good substitute and a lot of the meals I eat. I really like it chopped up and stir fry. I’ve also chopped it in boiled it, and then frozen it to use on demand for my meals. As a diabetic type two, I eat, frequent small meals and for me this is a very good product that is not soy based. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's like pink artichokes
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2024
My daughter and son-in-law came from the Left Coast to visit recently and were bringing a friend who is vegan, so I wanted to serve vegan food while he was here.
I tried a few different prepackaged vegan protein and cheese foods for a couple of weeks prior to the visit, and frankly, they all tasted terrible.
Besides trying to figure out how to accommodate the sleeping arrangements and clearing out my COVID lockdown clutter, figuring out how to make a nice "vegan" meal was alluding me.
That said, I ordered this big a$$ can of jack fruit. For anyone unfamiliar with the product, it looked like many chunks of the inside of a pink artichoke that had been cut in fourths, and kind of tasted like artichoke straight out of the can.
I used it to make some tacos for my husband and myself the week before the visit, using the recommendation of soaking the fruit for 30 minutes prior to cooking, then shredded the soaked and drained fruit to replicate chicken taco meat in texture, then sauteed it with my usual spices.
The flavor was just okay, sort of like chicken? Doesn't everything taste like chicken? The texture was too soft and slimy, think cooked slice of mushroom. My takeaway was that the recommended long soaking was unnecessary except for getting the brine off, and the soaking made it nearly flavorless. Rinsing only would have resulted in a more chewy, meat like texture.
As it turned out, vegan visiter did not stay, but I still made regular beef tacos for daughter, son-in-law, husband and myself, and didn't use the jackfruit, so my review is based on one meal.
The product in the can was good quality and enough to feed an army.
If you're willing to experiment a little to find the right soaking and cooking times, this jackfruit is fresh, well as much as a canned food can be, there is a LOT of it, and is bland enough so that it won't override your seasonings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very different item, in a good way.
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2022
This is my first time to purchase Jackfruit. After searching on the Internet for how it is use, I decided to give it a try.

The can was received with a small dent on the end ridge but it was still sealed. After reading some of the other reviews on Amazon, I was expecting to find lots of seeds but I didn't. There were maybe 6-8 seeds in the whole can. The brine was not overly salty and the fruit itself tasted fresh.

I used the Jackfruit to make meatless pot roast and the chunks of Jackfruit maintained their firmness and shape throughout the baking process.

If you are looking to purchase Jackfruit, I would highly recommend this brand.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is 1 big can of jackfruit 6.1 lbs
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024
I was under the impression that these were 6 - 1 lb cans. But it’s one big 6 lb can. I’ll open and freeze the jackfruit and hope I get it used before getting freezer burn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wrong size.
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2023
I mistakenly bought the wrong size. A hunt it you do this too. Store it in quart jars in the fridge in the juices they come in, do not leave it in the can to store it, it will take on a tinny flavor.
Next time get the smaller size.
