Tropical Sun ready-to-eat jackfruit range is introduced

Wanis International Foods has launched a ready-to-eat jackfruit range under its Tropical Sun label.

Known for its meat-like texture, young green jackfruit has been hailed as a vegan sensation, reports the company.

The three products in the Tropical Sun range –  BBQ, Tex Mex and Thai Green Curry Jackfruit – are aimed at consumers looking for a plant-based ‘pulled meat’ experience. The rsp for a 400g tin is £2.49.

A Tropical Sun spokesperson says that the products are the perfect base for a quick and easy plant-based meal. “Stuff the BBQ jackfruit into a lightly toasted brioche bun, top with salad and serve with chunky chips for the ultimate ‘pulled pork’ experience. Load a tortilla wrap with the Tex Mex jackfruit, rice, black beans and guacamole for a burrito that goes beyond! Simply serve the Thai version with some steamed rice,” the spokesperson suggests.
