The BBQ Jackfruit Pulled 'Pork' Burger is a game-changing vegan burger that delivers all the smoky, saucy satisfaction of pulled pork without any animal products. Young green jackfruit has a remarkable texture that shreds just like slow-cooked meat, absorbing the rich flavors of tangy BBQ sauce and smoky spices. When piled high on a soft bun with crunchy coleslaw, this burger satisfies even the most devoted carnivores.

What makes jackfruit such a brilliant meat substitute is its naturally stringy, fibrous texture that mimics pulled pork perfectly. After sautéing with onions and garlic, then simmering in a sweet-smoky BBQ sauce, the jackfruit becomes incredibly tender and flavorful. The creamy vegan coleslaw adds crunch and freshness, cutting through the richness while keeping everything plant-based.

Perfect for vegan barbecues, Meatless Mondays, or anyone curious about plant-based eating, this burger proves that you don't need meat to create bold, crave-worthy flavors. It's hearty, satisfying, and absolutely delicious.
