ORGANIC DRIED JACKFRUIT
Dried Jackfruit: What Is It?
Our dried jackfruit is made by drying young, unripe jackfruit and processing it into various forms, such as shredded pieces. The drying process significantly extends the shelf life and makes the product suitable for storage and transport without the need for refrigeration.
Once soaked or cooked in water or broth, the jackfruit regains a tender, fibrous texture.
Origin
Our jackfruit which is used for the production of the dried variants typically comes from organic cultivation in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka provides the ideal tropical climate for jackfruit trees to thrive.

HYBRID: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
LESS MEAT, MORE IMPACT
GROWTH OF HYBRID MEAT PRODUCTS
Hybrid products — combining meat with plant-based ingredients like jackfruit — are quickly gaining popularity. They provide a practical way to reduce meat intake without fully switching to plant-based alternatives. Think of burgers or meatballs where part of the meat is replaced with mushrooms, jackfruit, or other plant-based components.
REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS
REDUCE USE OF WATER
REDUCE USE OF LAND
FUTURE PERSPECTIVE
As sustainability and health move higher on the agenda — and beef prices continue to rise — the demand for hybrid products is expected to grow. Innovative ingredients like dried jackfruit open the door to new, tasty, and responsible food concepts that meet the needs of today’s conscious consumer.

SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS OF OUR DRIED YOUNG JACKFRUIT
Sustainable transportation – When jackfruit is dried it eliminates excess water, resulting in a more compact product and thereby contributing to a more efficient use of space during transportation.
Reduced water and land usage – Dried young jackfruit uses 72-90% less water than traditional meat options. Moreover, with the overall biological properties of jackfruit, our program allows us to grow food for humans instead of animals, enabling farmers to feed more than twice as many people.
Encouraging farmer entrepeneurs – We have created a jackfruit plantation program to discourage deforestation. Planting more trees in order for the future generations to thrive.
No water pollution – Untreated manure and excess fertiliser in important water springs are a major source of ecological damage and human illness. Our jackfruit trees do not require any excess fertiliser or manure to grow or cultivate.
No added antibiotics – Traditional meat causes several health risks as it contains antibiotics. Jackfruit requires no added antibiotics making it safer to consume.
New manufacturing facility – We built a new state of the art manufacturing facility that produces less greenhouse gasses, optimises electricity usage and recycles water.
