Curry Coconut Jackfruit

Curry Coconut Jackfruit

On my journey of trying to find a healthier option, I decided to try jackfruit to eliminate chicken from my diet. Jackfruit has almost the same consistency as meat when it’s cooked and is high in Vitamin A. Jackfruit also acts like an antioxidant and helps with the prevention of diseases in the body.
