We love jackfruit hot and fresh from the pan or oven—but as the summer heats up, we’re feeling the need to cool down. Scroll for some of our favorite ways to enjoy jackfruit chilled (or at least room temp!) on the season’s warmest days.
Jackfruit Dip
Who says you have to save your favorite party appetizer for a party? A great dip is delicious any day. It makes a perfect snack, but can easily scale to become a full meal—and with so many possible flavor combinations, it’s practically as versatile as jackfruit itself! Here are some cool jackfruit dips we’re digging this summer:
Jackfruit “Tuna” or “Chicken” Salad
