Live from Thailand

The jackfruit, native to India, is cultivated in most tropical regions of the world. It can be found in Southeast Asia, as well as in Réunion and Madagascar.

The tree, the jackfruit tree, can grow up to 20 meters tall and produces fruit after 3 years. Its fruits grow directly on the trunk or on the largest branches of the tree. It secretes a sticky latex that was once used as an adhesive.

The fruits are certified "pesticide residue-free" simply because there is no need for them during cultivation.

Packaging: Resealable 200 g kraft pouch.

Storage method: Keep in a dry place. Once opened, jackfruits may absorb some moisture and become less crunchy over time.
