Food For Thought: Jackfruit tacos with pinto beans

[Mackenaw]

Hello Everyone

God bless you this day.

Today's meat alternative meal includes an interesting food item called "jackfruit". I had never heard of it until about 3 years ago. It is a fruit that grows in the jackfruit tree in rain forests of India and a few other places. Apparently it is the largest fruit that grows in trees. The cool thing is, the fruit is often used as a meat alternative and flavored with savory herbs and spices. The end result has a taste and texture similar to shredded pork.

While the fruit can be seasoned to be a meat replacement, it is not a good source of protein. However, if you serve it with other foods that are good sources of protein, it can be part of a well-balanced meal.

In the last month, we have eaten Tex-Mex seasoned jackfruit by The Jackfruit Company. We have eaten it twice as the filler for tacos, and served it with pinto beans (protein). We really enjoyed it.


Matthew 4:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.


Matthew 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

I ask...doing what? He tells us. Read on.



Matthew 24:42-51 King James Version (KJV)
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

God bless and keep you,
Mack
