No. Definitely tastier. At least the fruit part. There is a different part that is more fleshy that is less tasty. It's used as a pulled pork substitute in vegan dishes.

Jackfruit pulled pork is damn good.

Maybe I haven't found a good recipe yet. I've used canned jackfruit and it just tastes like heartburn and bile. The ripe stuff is good tho...

Controversial statement that jackfruit is tastier than durian :D. I guess I haven’t found the good tasting part of jackfruit yet.

If you have not had banana and jackfruit Turon you are sadly deprived.

Thanks! Thats the kind of suggestion I was looking for. I will try that!

I love both jackfruit and durian, but they are very different flavours.

Are you eating ripe or young jackfruit? Young jackfruit is what's often used as a meat substitute, ripe jackfruit is sweet and has a unique flavor.

Doesn't durian smell like shit but taste great? Or is that just propaganda to fool tourists into trying it? (I haven't had the pleasure...)

It does smell a little funny but the taste and texture makes up for it. Especially as part of this desert (durian pulut) that comes with sticky rice and a kind of syrup.
