A significant chunk of the world has had a rather difficult time understanding jackfruit. The Mughal Emperor who hailed from Kabul compared the fruit to ‘a sheep’s stomach’, he also called the fruit excessively sweet. In 2019, a popular International daily called the fruit ‘spectacularly ugly’ and drew backlash from several Indians and vegans around the world. Babar may not have understood the fruit, some international newspapers may take their own sweet time, but the truth is that jackfruit is slowly getting the acclaim it deserves both home and abroad. And not just as a perfect meat substitute. A lot has been said about its delish texture. It is time we celebrate its inherent flavour and versatility. Here are some snacks you may enjoy.
