If you haven’t had crab-style cakes made with our Lightly Seasoned Jackfruit, you’re missing out. The good news is, this is a great place to start! These plant-based snacks are super easy to fry up and are packed with flavorful ingredients like mustard, capers, and spices.
Another fun and easy way to enjoy our Lightly Seasoned Jackfruit is to whip up a batch of these crunchy, spicy, and craveable Buffalo Bites. Sure, they’re technically an appetizer—but serve them with crisp crudité and your favorite dipping sauce, and you’ve basically got yourself a full meal.

Full of Plants
Simplify this recipe by starting with our Teriyaki Jackfruit, and mix with fresh ingredients like onion, garlic and ginger to make a mouthwatering filling. The almond butter is a genius addition, as it holds everything together—and the accompanying dipping sauce is good enough to drink.
