Great texture and taste. Versatile food that can be cooked in a variety of ways. I made a nice stew. Good value for money. Review: A lovely alternative to meat and tofu - I bought this tin of Jackfruit thinking, “I’ll make a curry, it’ll be fine.” Wrong. It wasn’t fine. It was a revelation! I opened the tin and suddenly my kitchen smelled like a tropical paradise collided with a coconut milk factory. I added onions, tomatoes, lemon, and coconut milk (see my review for coconut milk), and the Jackfruit responded. It twisted, it mingled, it basically started directing the curry like it had attended the Royal Academy of Spice. By the time I tasted it, I was convinced this Jackfruit had superpowers. My humble curry had ascended. I felt heroic, enlightened, and slightly concerned about how two tins had nearly taken over my kitchen. My cat stared at me as if to say, “You’ve peaked, human. We must recalibrate.” Pro tips from the frontlines: It's cheaper to buy on here than Asda 🤫🤫 Chop it into smaller pieces unless you want whole Jackfruit chunks grappling with your spoon. Young Jackfruit = curry MVP. Older Jackfruit = still fine, but a bit grumpy. Don’t underestimate its power, it will make your curry so good your neighbours might call the emergency services. Verdict - Five stars. My curry skills are now officially 'legendary but slightly terrifying.' Jackfruit, I salute you. ## Features - Loved by vegetarians, vegans and the health-conscious Plant-based meat alternative for pulled pork, braised beef and spiced lamb Great in tacos, salads, curries and more Young green Jackfruit is not to be confused with ripe jackfruit, which is sweet and generally eaten as a fruit Ingredients: Young Jackfruit (50%), Water, Acidity Regulator: Citric Acid - Specialist Foods, Unit 701, 43 Bedford Street, London CLE gHA US ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08HF8FNVM | | ASIN | B08HF8FNVM | | Age Range Description | All ages | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,864 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 8 in Tinned Fruits | | Brand Name | Tropical Sun | | Container Type | Individual | | Country of Origin | Sri Lanka | | Country of origin | Sri Lanka | | Cuisine | Western | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (576) | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (576) | | Diet Type | Vegan | | Flavour | Jackfruit | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05029788192238 | | Item Form | Vegetable in brine | | Item Package Weight | 0.45 Kilograms | | Item Type Name | Tropical Sun Young Green Jackfruit in Water, 400g | | Item Weight | 0.4 Kilograms | | Item model number | 238096 | | Manufacturer | Specialist Foods | | Manufacturer | Specialist Foods | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Specialist Foods, Unit 701, 43 Bedford Street, London CLE gHA US | | Model Number | 238096 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 238096 | | Product Dimensions | 7.5 x 7.5 x 10.5 cm; 400 g | | Size | 400 g (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Vegan, suitable_for_vegetarians | | Unit Count | 400.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tropical Sun - **Flavour:** Jackfruit - **Item form:** Vegetable in brine - **Item weight:** 0.4 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** Specialist Foods - **Number of items:** 1 - **Number of pieces:** 1 - **Package weight:** 0.45 Kilograms - **Speciality:** Vegan, suitable_for_vegetarians - **Unit count:** 400.0 gram ## Images ![Tropical Sun Young Green Jackfruit in Water 400g | Plant-Based Vegan Meat Alternative | Tender Texture for Curries, Stir-Fries & Wraps | Natural Source of Fibre | Ready to Cook | Pack of 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612UzO9fc1L.jpg) ![Tropical Sun Young Green Jackfruit in Water 400g | Plant-Based Vegan Meat Alternative | Tender Texture for Curries, Stir-Fries & Wraps | Natural Source of Fibre | Ready to Cook | Pack of 1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YLJDA6POL.jpg) ![Tropical Sun Young Green Jackfruit in Water 400g | Plant-Based Vegan Meat Alternative | Tender Texture for Curries, Stir-Fries & Wraps | Natural Source of Fibre | Ready to Cook | Pack of 1 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619nc+qEn7L.jpg) ![Tropical Sun Young Green Jackfruit in Water 400g | Plant-Based Vegan Meat Alternative | Tender Texture for Curries, Stir-Fries & Wraps | Natural Source of Fibre | Ready to Cook | Pack of 1 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GySKkWvTL.jpg) ![Tropical Sun Young Green Jackfruit in Water 400g | Plant-Based Vegan Meat Alternative | Tender Texture for Curries, Stir-Fries & Wraps | Natural Source of Fibre | Ready to Cook | Pack of 1 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1cJtQDjBSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this have a "ringpull" opener or do you need a traditional tin opener to get into it?** A: Sorry is a long time since I used it and I can't remember.
