Young green jackfruit has earned its place in plant based cooking, and this TOP OP tin keeps it ready in the storecupboard. Picked young and packed in brine, the flesh is firm and stringy, pulling apart into shreds that stand in well for meat. The mild flavour soaks up spices and sauces, making the 565g tin a versatile base for curries, pulled fillings and bakes.

Serving Ideas

Drain, rinse and shred, then simmer in a spiced curry or a smoky sauce for a pulled style filling in wraps, buns and tacos. It also works in biryanis, stews and bakes where a hearty, savoury texture is wanted.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer any unused jackfruit to a covered container, keep refrigerated and use within a couple of days.

A: Young green jackfruit is savoury and neutral rather than sweet, so it suits main dishes and takes on spices well, unlike the sweet ripe fruit. Q: How do I get the pulled texture? A: Drain and rinse it, then pull or shred the pieces with a fork before cooking them in your sauce so they absorb the flavour. Q: Does it taste like meat? A: It has a meaty, stringy texture rather than a meaty flavour. The taste comes from the spices and sauce you cook it in. Q: Who makes it? A: It is packed under the TOP OP brand by TOP OP Foods, a London based world foods supplier.
