Jackfruit, Artocarpus heterophyllus 1/

Easy care, grows like a beast. It can zone push to at least 8 in the US and still get worthwhile harvest… of leaves!

This thread is how to cook with jackfruit leaves. They are dense in nutrition and protein. And they’re not just for goats!

Young leaves taste slightly sweet and herbal with a tiny tang.
Mature: dark herbal flavor with undertones of star anise.

On a blue cloth is a irregular circular shape that is pie-graph colored from pink, navy, grey, lápiz and cream. On top of the plate are two onigiri balls that are rolled with sweet pickled strips of young jackfruit leaves with a little bit of shiso. They are on red and green shiso leaves. In front of them is a wild physallis opened from its paper casing like a yellow pearl and two tiny round green wild cucumbers.
On a bed of curly green sissoo leaves, sliced green okra and small sliced red and orange madhatter peppers are three green fried tofu balls. They are browned but beneath the dried exterior is a subtle green hue. In the middle of the fried tofu is a bright pink dianthus flower. The ragged edges of its petals contrast with all the round elements in the image.
In a silver bowl on top of a bed of green curly sissoo leaves are light green thin jackfruit leaf soba noodles. On top of the noodles are slices of white bitter melon, maitake mushrooms, sliced mizuna leaves and dark pink stalks, fried egg, sliced stars of okra, prosciutto, orange slices of madhatter pepper and topping it all off, a sprinkling of tiny purple shiso flowers.

2/ To eat mature jackfruit leaves, first air dry them in a dark place (so they don’t bleach). Mature jackfruit leaves have some inedible fiber. To remove this fiber:
-First cut out the main vein with a scissors
-Then cut leaf into pieces and stuff into a clean coffee grinder, shake the machine as you grind to get the finest powder
-Pour ground leaves into a fine sieve over a bowl, stir with a spoon to get all green bits out. Inedible fibers remain in the sieve.

5/ Here is a link to nutritional data about jackfruit leaves. It was made in mind for using jackfruit leaves as goat fodder but why should goats get to enjoy all the nutritional and flavorful glory of jackfruit leaves?
