For many, a plant-based or vegan diet is synonymous with restriction and renunciation.
And most of those who have switched to plant-based diets will likely have at least one meat dish they’d like to indulge in again sometimes, simply because of the taste.
Our tip for beginners who miss the consistency of meat (but also for everyone else!) is jackfruit!
It brings a lot of iron , which is needed for blood formation, but also a relatively high amount of fiber. In addition to some B vitamins and trace elements , jackfruit also contains vitamin K , which counteracts osteoporosis.
And to whet your appetite for this fabulous fruit, we have this delicious recipe by hand for:
Our jackfruit in red wine sauce!
With wine and dried porcini mushrooms it gets an intensely spicy note and the jackfruit pieces give the whole thing the consistency you would expect from a goulash.
