Introduction

Bursting with remarkable flavours and a captivating aroma, Jackfruit is a true marvel of nature. It's also known as the Jack tree, and belongs to the same family as fig, mulberry, and breadfruit. Jackfruit is a versatile food that can be enjoyed raw, or used in savoury dishes as a meat substitute. 

Our jackfruit is sold in packs of pre-prepared flesh.

History

With a history that spans centuries, Jackfruit has long been cherished in its native lands of Southeast Asia. It has been a staple food in countries such as India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka for generations. This magnificent fruit has not only provided sustenance but also played a significant role in local folklore and cultural celebrations.

Originating in the tropical rainforests of India, Jackfruit has made its way to various parts of the world. It is now cultivated and grown across Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Each region contributes its unique touch, resulting in subtle variations in taste and size.
