    i'm happy to see your enthusiasm for jackfruit. i find its nutritional value lacking, especially since in the west it's mostly used as a meat substitute, but has very little protein in it. guess i should give it another try.

      Interestingly, the cuisine local to our region is such that the lack of proteins in Jackfruit is supplemented by other veggies, especially lentils, beans and wild mangoes. And obviously, lots of fish (which is not vegan, but they don't need to mind this, the above vegan substitutes will do just fine).
