The jackfruit is part of the mulberry family and is grown in the world’s topical regions, such as India, Thailand, Vietnam and Sri Lanka.
The jackfruit tree thrives on deep, nutrient-rich soils in these regions.
The fruits were originally widely used in south and southeast Asian cuisine and are now conquering the world’s kitchens and shops from there.
The unripe fruits are peeled and used like vegetables in various dishes. This wide range of possible uses is thanks to the neutral taste and no additional flavours.
In terms of structure and consistency the fruit’s flesh is similar to meat cooked at a low temperature, which is why we now import young jackfruit for you as a vegan meat substitute.
