Dehydrated Jackfruit is a key in this transition. It has a firm meaty bite and absorbs flavors and spices perfectly, "imitating" meat beyond recognition. By using Jackfruit as an ingredient, food companies and chefs can offer their customers a tasty meal, contributing to a more sustainable planet. Drying Jackfruit reduces volume, transportation costs and footprint to the Netherlands by 80%. We sell directly to food companies in European markets and beyond.

"We source our Jackfruit from agroforests in Uganda run by small farmers and their families. We guarantee that they purchase at a fair price. By processing the Jackfruit at regional hubs, we create jobs for women and add value that stays in the Ugandan economy."
The process:
The JackFruit is sourced from about 800 small farmers, belonging to 7 different suppliers of farmers in Uganda, then it is transported to our partner processing hubs who dehydrate the JackFruit. Once dehydrated and packaged, it is shipped to the Netherlands, where food processing companies use the ingredient in meatballs, burgers, curries, stews and soups.
