    Hi. I'm not vegan but I was curious about this taco filling. Today, the majority of the fresh Jackfruit is from Mexico. How using fresh "green" jackfruit? It can be found in many asian markets like Vietnamese, chinese and Korean markets. It's really big though, around 15-25 pounds. Green jackfruits would have the "milk" or sap. So, we definitely have to get rid of that somehow. It's not in the one from the can. Must learn how to handle the sap. Many people have a allergic reaction to the sap. It is very sticky also. When using a knife to cut it, it should be oiled first to be sort of non-stick. I'm trying to get a tree going, in southern California.

    i haven't tried this yet but I imagine adding sage would really benefit your pork flavoring as well since that's what chefs add to sausage to give it that sausage flavor. If you've never tasted sage once you do you'll immediately get what I'm saying.

Had to rinse away some of the BBQ sauce as it was too much and too spicy. But the canned was awful. So I'm glad you showed me what to do with the rest of it.

    Eating young/green jack fruit has been done more many many years in Asian countries. In many tropical areas such as Jamaica we have been eating it ripe as often as many Americans eat apples in season.. Its only new to the US, Asian dishes often require it be brined, so that's why you see it that way.
