Fresh jackfruit is starting to appear more regularly in mainstream grocery stores around me, both as a giant football and in more manageable slices, and I really enjoy it – its little ‘pods’ have a sweet tropical flavor that’s somewhere between pineapple and “tutti fruity” – someone described it to me as Juicy Fruit gum flavor, and that’s about right. And when it’s unripe, the green fruity seeds are flavorless and make a surprisingly good substitute for pulled pork.
