I'm a retired chef that takes pride in everything I cook. I've been plant based for over three years. In our current location, non of the outlets offer jack fruit. In the past I've used canned young jack fruit, always draining off the liquid beforehand. I came across your website this past October. I prefer to buy in bulk, ordering four pounds of jack fruit as well as three one pound bags of assorted herbs.
It's now time for MY review of your products.
Jack Fruit. I'm still wondering what it really is! I have made three separate style vegan dishes since your product arrived. No matter how much seasoning, or liquid, or cooking it and prepare it several different ways, the same overpowering, unpleasant flavor bullies it was through!
I experimented one more time today cooking up a smallish batch of Olive Oil using your garlic and onion product including salt and tomato paste. No matter how much I purposely over salted and over seasoned this product, the final taste was always that pungent overpowering flavor of ( I don't really know what to call it!) Intitnaly I serpaerted the original bag into ½ pound zip locks freezing the lot. As of ten minutes ago all the frozen bags were tossed in the trash!
