  • Its a ploy in that people assume they are eating fruit and not some kind of pulp that’s next to the actual fruit. Jackfruit rags don’t sound too tasty so they leave it out purposefully. I understand but wouldn’t mind if they invented another word to use so if I actually serve jackfruit fruit to people it’s not weird for them by how different it is from the rags.

    I still think it’s strange that the seeds aren’t also marketed as edible. Its kinda like potato once boiled so I guess potatoes are just easier to use in a large scale.




  • As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.

    What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.

    I think it’s great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.













  • Been making my own kombucha recently…it’s still kinda tea but different enough to mention.

    An honorable mention is hop tea when I want to sleep, it’s a lot cheaper than other sleep aides.

    Something that requires a bit of investment but will pay for itself overtime is soy milk. Just rehydrate beans and put it in a soy milk machine and you get fresh soy milk. You can either drink that or make your own tofu for the cost of bulk soy beans. The machine can be pricy however.
