JACKFRUIT CAFE BRINGS VEGAN SOUL FOOD TO LOS ANGELES

Jackfruit Cafe returns to its South Los Angeles roots and brings out the best flavors for all with a modern twist on jackfruit. Made with 100% plant-based ingredients, Jackfruit Cafe knows you’ll fall in love with their food. Try the popular jackfruit tacos or the house special Jackfruit Soul Bowl. They have plenty of delicious options to choose from, so get ready to grub and drive on down to Jackfruit Cafe.

For those of you who are not familiar with Jackfruit, let me tell you a little about this special plant. Jackfruit is a tropical fruit that grows in South and Southeast Asia. It is the largest tree fruit in the world! Raw jackfruit has spiky skin and sweet flesh with a flavor kind of like mango.

Fresh jackfruit isn’t readily available in grocery stores in the U.S. but you can easily find it canned. While ripe jackfruit tastes very sweet, young jackfruit that comes in cans has little flavor to it, but it absorbs flavor like crazy, so it is perfect for cooking. It also has a “shredded meat” texture, perfect for mimicking things like shredded beef or pork.

Let’s take a look at some of the dishes from Jackfruit Cafe. Prepare for a mouth-watering visual experience!
