Jackfruit vs Breadfruit: The Ultimate Raw Tropical Fruit Taste Test

Описание: John from http://www.okraw.com joins longtime friend Kaelash in Puerto Rico for a tropical taste test like no other—raw breadfruit vs. ripe jackfruit—in a side-by-side showdown that challenges everything you thought you knew about these exotic fruits.

In this episode, you'll discover the surprising truth about two members of the Autocarpus family: the commonly cooked breadfruit, often dismissed as inedible when raw, and the versatile jackfruit, which most people only know as a vegan meat substitute when it’s unripe. But what happens when both are picked fully ripe—and eaten raw, straight from the tree?

John shares the raw foodist perspective on both fruits, including why most breadfruit is harvested too early for true flavor potential and how imported jackfruit, when chosen properly, can still rival fresh-picked tropical varieties. Kaelash joins the tasting panel to deliver honest reactions and break down the flavor, texture, and unique qualities of each.

🌿 You’ll learn:

Why ripe breadfruit may be the most underrated tropical fruit in the world
How jackfruit transforms when eaten raw vs. cooked
The secret to finding perfectly ripe jackfruit at your local market
Why most people never get to try breadfruit at peak ripeness
What happens when you combine both into a “fruit sandwich”
And why both fruits deserve a bigger place in the raw vegan diet

🎬 Taste Tests Include:
Raw Breadfruit straight from John's backyard
Mexican Jackfruit purchased from the Market
The Ultimate Breadfruit-Jackfruit Combo Bite

Whether you’re a fruit lover, raw vegan, tropical fruit geek, or just curious about what grows in paradise, this episode will open your eyes (and taste buds) to the real potential of nature’s starchy, sweet, and satisfying fruits.

👉 Don’t miss this rare chance to taste two tropical powerhouses—raw, ripe, and real.
