### Jackfruit in a hundred ways

The breadfruit or jackfruit is a tropical fruit from the breadfruit tree (//Artocarpus heterophyllus//) originally from Southeast Asia. Its flesh has a unique fibrous texture that, when prepared in a certain way, resembles shredded meat. This makes it a popular ingredient in vegan and vegetarian cuisine. However, it can be also eaten raw as fresh fruit or added to sweet dishes.

Due to its name, it is sometimes confused with breadfruit (//Artocarpus altilis//), which comes from the closely related breadfruit tree, that has some similar but also different properties.

 
### Why choose dried jackfruit instead of canned?

This exotic fruit is easiest to find in canned form here. However, we decided to offer dried jackfruit pieces for several reasons:
- Long shelf life - dried jackfruit will last for months without the need for preservatives.
- No canned flavor - unlike the canned version, it has no metallic flavor.
- Light weight and compact - ideal for travel and storage.

 
### Method of use

It is used as an ingredient in savoury dishes. It is also great in desserts such as cakes, desserts or puddings. It can be used to make jams and marmalades. You can also add it to soups, where it enhances the flavour and creates texture.

Dried jackfruit pieces need to be soaked or boiled before use to absorb water and soften. Once softened, season with your favorite spices and continue cooking, such as by sautéing or simmering with sauces.

Soaking - cover the pieces with warm water or broth and let them soak for 30 minutes.
Cooking - add the pieces to boiling water for 10-15 minutes until soft.
