Fox4KC and the Barigirls Getting All Jacked Up!!

Welcome to the world of jackfruit. We encourage you to use this fruit as a meat replacement as it takes on the flavor and consistency of pulled port or the wonder taste of meatless tacos. To the left are pictures of jackfruit before it is canned and what it looks like inside. Did you know that jackfruit fights cancer, has Vitamin C, antioxidant and phytonutrient properties? Jackfruit can help in weight loss as it is low in calories and fat free as well as reduces blood pressure and contains a high content of potassium. Now your vegan friends will adore you and they have something great to eat at your next BBQ event as well. Here are the recipes for the BBQ Jackfruit Sliders and the Bari Tacos that were made on the May 24^th show on Fox4kc. Enjoy!
