This vegan jackfruit curry is entirely plant based, but don’t let that put you off. The jackfruit gives it a delicious ‘meaty’ texture which we can’t get enough of.

This creamy jackfruit curry is a delightful dish that delivers texture and flavour without using heavy cream or Synned ingredients. Combining meaty jackfruit pieces with aromatic spices and tomato it makes a top vegan recipe which seems to impress the whole family. My kiddos who are super fussy even gave it a go and one was really impressed by it.



So what is jackfruit?

Jackfruit is an ancient fruit grown on trees in tropical climates. It’s native to south and southeast Asia where it is served regularly. While it’s relatively new on the scene in North America, jackfruit has been used for hundreds of years as both food and medicine. It’s believed to have antimicrobial and antifungal properties, as well as being rich in antioxidants.

Jackfruit has thick, bumpy skin and is filled with plump, stringy pods. When ripe, these pods have a sweet banana-like quality. However, when used for savory dishes, the fruit is typically underripe and a bit more firm, giving it a meatier texture.
