Canned jackfruit

Kathal

Canned young jackfruit; weighed in g.

Nothing matches young jackfruit's neutral pulled-meat texture exactly.

• 
  Raw jackfruit

  Use the same drained weight; peel, core and simmer until tender, 20–30 minutes longer. Texture is close but less briney.

• 
  Jackfruit

  Use the same drained weight if cooked young jackfruit; if ripe it will be sweet and unsuitable for savoury dishes.

• 
  Mushroom

  Use the same weight, thickly sliced and sautéed; gives a meaty texture but a mushroom flavour, not neutral.
