  2. While jackfruit is popularly eaten plain, it is also consumed in sweet and savoury dishes
  3. Indian chefs not only share recipes for galouti and a sweet dish but also delicious tacos

Jackfruits may technically not be in season right now but their current all-year-round availability due to online markets prompts many people to enjoy them even now. While the fruit is only a little more than a month away from being available, the fruit is also popularly known to be consumed by vegans as a meat substitute.

Every year, January is observed as Veganuary to celebrate the vegan lifestyle, which most easily starts with food. While the very nature of being vegan has evolved over time, the towering stature of jackfruit  due to its taste and texture, as a substitute in meat-based dishes, has made more people warm up to the fruit. It is one of many ingredients including tofu and even mushroom that are actively being used by people today to enjoy a variety of dishes.
