With its pulled pork quality, jackfruit has fast shot into the spot light when it comes to meat replacements and vegan cooking. Jackfruit, similar to tofu, absorbs flavours extremely well and works perfectly as a meat substitute in barbecue
style dishes

*The Guardian
TOFU
Tofu has been around for a long time, but with its easy preparation, versatility, and easy absorbance of flavour, tofu is one of the staples of vegan and vegetarian
diets.
