No. Jackfruit is the real superfood. First comes the fruit. Obviously, it is super-sweet, and not stinky like it's sibling fruit they sell in South-East Asia. You want papad? Sweet, salty, get them all. Pickled raw jackfruit? Simply the best. Want to eat something that tastes like potato, but granier? Jackfruit seeds at your service.
You want dosa? Jackfruit with urad dal and dosa rice would like to have a word with you - again, sweet or plain, that's up to you. Are you craving sweet stuff? Steamed jackfruit cakes. Want something more texturey? Coconut flake and jaggery dumpling, with jackfruit as the cover. Want some other alternative sweet dish? Jackfruit custard and kheer exists.
Did I forget something? Ah, yes. Freeze it, and you end up with ice-cream. Jackfruit is also used to make experimental kevlar substitute, and can stop bullets. Vegan leather comes from jackfruit. Jackfruit also secretes natural latex of a certain kind. Just be careful enough, and you could have a makeshift, sweet-tasting condom. Ignore the last one, I just made that up.
i'm happy to see your enthusiasm for jackfruit. i find its nutritional value lacking, especially since in the west it's mostly used as a meat substitute, but has very little protein in it. guess i should give it another try.
Interestingly, the cuisine local to our region is such that the lack of proteins in Jackfruit is supplemented by other veggies, especially lentils, beans and wild mangoes. And obviously, lots of fish (which is not vegan, but they don't need to mind this, the above vegan substitutes will do just fine).

ripe jackfruit is also nearly impossible to find in the west, it's the best fruit there is
Sounds really amazing, but can it satiate my Polishnes (alcoholerino)? Oh and does it have a Korean Pop Song?
Thought not B)
Potato gang stay winning
But fr sounds real interesting, I'll read up on it.
It probably does not grow in Poland, as it requires tropical and subtropical climates, but it is truly an amazing exotic fruit. It is the most superior vegan food, after coconut.
And you know what, Jackfruit has wine, because it is truly the most exotic fruit worthy for champagne socialists🍷
And there's a really cool song too. Btw, raw jackfruit has a meaty texture, making it superior to soy substitutes.
