Review of Jack Nuggets - jack & annie's by kyu

Surprisingly really tasty! Historically, I’ve had a very low opinion of jackfruit as #fakemeat (many unsatisfactory pulled jackfruit attempts later…) so these #nuggets had to overcome quite a lot of anti-jackfruit bias. Despite positive reviews from a number of abillioners I trust and admire, I had my doubts and didn’t expect to like these nuggets nearly as much as I did. #veganjunkfood

The highest praise I can give to any #jackfruit product: I could hardly tell they were jackfruit! The nuggets have such a tender, meaty chew and just the right amount of moisture, such that their thin, peppery breading crisps up really nicely without feeling dry. I heated them in the toaster oven at home and even brought a few to the office so I’d have the opportunity to test the air fryer — both methods delivered excellent, fast-food-adjacent results. They aren’t the healthiest or most nutritious — for one thing, the protein content isn’t competitive with other vegan nuggets — but they are tasty and made with fairly recognizable ingredients. Also, omnivore-approved! (At least, according to the one friend I asked to try them.) Although I wouldn’t eat these regularly, I do recommend and would get them again! Following this experience, I‘d even be open to trying some of jack & annie's other creations.
