A TASTY MEAT ALTERNATIVE
Jackfruit has a texture similar to pulled pork and can be used as a meat alternative for those that are vegan or vegetarian. It has a rich source of vitamins, minerals, protein and is also low in cholesterol and saturated fat. We added spinach to boost the nutrition. We hope you enjoy!
