Yellow Jackfruit Curry with Jasmine Rice

What is it?

A 13-ounce frozen meal, this bowl pairs green jackfruit with eggplant and red bell pepper in a coconut milk yellow curry, plus a separate side of jasmine rice. The jackfruit comes from Thailand and is used while unripe, so it stays mild and takes on the sauce’s seasoning. Inside the curry, lemongrass, cumin, and turmeric do most of the work, with the coconut milk giving it a creamy base. Trader Joe’s keeps the rice apart from the sauce, which helps preserve its slightly chewy texture and fragrant aroma. It’s vegan, and it sits alongside other Trader Joe’s frozen entrées built around rice and vegetable curries.
