YOUNG GREEN JACKFRUIT: What is it? 💚🌱
- The evergreen jackfruit tree belongs to the mulberry family and thrives in all tropical areas of the world.
- The tree can grow up to 20 meters tall.
- Thanks to its long roots, the tree supplies itself with groundwater and does not need artificial irrigation.
- The fruit of the trees is known as jackfruit, but is still little or not at all widespread in Europe.
- The fruits are a miracle of nature and can grow up to 1m long and weigh 50kg.
- Depending on the degree of ripeness, the pulp is used as a vegetable or dessert.
- Harvested and cooked as a young jackfruit, the fibrous, tasteless flesh is increasingly used as a meat substitute.
- Essentially, the pulp and seeds of the fruit are used for a variety of applications.
Why is jackfruit so suitable for a healthy and conscious diet?
- It has few carbohydrates – so few calories
- It has a lot of fiber – therefore very filling
- It has a high vitamin C, magnesium and potassium content
- It has been proven to have a positive effect on diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and is also known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Our Kumaio® Organic Young Green Jackfruit pieces or plucked :
- The Young Green Jackfruit comes from Sri Lanka.
- This vegetable has been rooted in the culture of Sri Lanka for centuries.
- The trees are distributed across the island in different climate zones and 99% are grown in so-called “home gardens” in mixed cultures (with bananas, coconuts, etc.). There are no monocultures.
- Since our local partner harvests the fruit with his own trained pickers, we can always guarantee that only the fruits with the right degree of ripeness are processed.
- Fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals are completely avoided during cultivation.
- The Kumaio® Young Green Jackfruit is tasteless and can be spiced to give it any flavor
Production conditions of Kumaio® Jackfruit:
- Our partner in Sri Lanka is ISO 22000 and certified according to EU Organic & Fair TSA standards
- The partner is organized as a family business.
