Sorry to hear your jackfruit didn’t work out. Was it the taste? texture? something else?

I personally liked the jackfruit more when I used it in taquitos instead of tacos.

I tried making these off of UHW’s recipe. I followed the recipe. I cooked them in my crock for 8 hours. It just wasn’t good. I must have done something wrong. =(

Sarah – I used Sun Voi brand of canned jackfruit. I don’t think the brand matters as much as it just needs to be the young green jackfruit in brine or water.

Good luck in your search. :-)

What brand of canned jackfruit do you use? I’m in ON, Canada and so far haven’t found it nearby.

Jennifer – I know, it’s a little scary how similar it looks to the real stuff. :-o

You can find canned jackfruit at the Asian grocery store. I haven’t seen the faux pork at my local Whole Foods but maybe they’ll have it at yours.
