Pulled pork comes from pigs raised in factory farms. Jackfruit and mushroom alternatives match the shredded texture without animal suffering.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make vegan pulled pork?

Drain 2 cans of young green jackfruit, shred with forks, toss with BBQ spice rub (smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder, cumin), bake at 200C for 20 minutes until edges crisp, then mix with your favorite BBQ sauce. Serve on buns.

Is jackfruit pulled pork high in protein?

Jackfruit is low in protein (~2g per serving). To boost protein, add beans to the filling, serve with coleslaw made with hemp seeds, or pair with a protein-rich side. The mushroom version has more protein.
