Emma: Hey there! Have you ever heard of jackfruit?
Michael: Hi, Emma! Yeah, I think I've heard of it, but I'm not sure what it is exactly.
Emma: Jackfruit is a tropical fruit that's becoming quite popular in vegan cooking. It's huge and kind of spiky on the outside.
Michael: Oh, right! I think I've seen pictures of it. What's it like inside?
Emma: Inside, it's sweet and has a unique texture. Some people say it's like a mix between pineapple and banana.
Michael: That sounds interesting. Do you cook with it often?
Emma: Not too often, but I've had it in savory dishes like jackfruit tacos or pulled "pork" sandwiches. It absorbs flavors really well.
Michael: Wow, I never would've thought of using it like that. Where can you find jackfruit?
Emma: You can usually find it in the canned fruit aisle at the grocery store. Some specialty stores might also have it fresh or frozen.
Michael: Cool, thanks for the info, Emma! I'll have to give it a try sometime.
Emma: No problem, Michael! Let me know if you need any recipe ideas.
