For those who are turning towards a more plant-based lifestyle or are vegan, jackfruit can take on a very similar texture to chicken. For this recipe we have used jackfruit instead of chicken with a delicious BBQ sauce as a pizza topping. Jackfruit is a good source of vitamin C, potassium and various other vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Marinated in our homemade BBQ sauce made with fresh peanut butter-it is delicious on pizza, tacos, grain bowls or any way you can think of.
