# Jackfruit-Based Vegan Foods Jack & Annie’s Offers Plant-based Products Made with Jackfruit By Grace Mahas | Published 2021-11-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-annies References: [jackandannies](https://www.jackandannies.com/)  As more consumers opt to follow a plant-based or flexitarian lifestyle, [Jack & Annie's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-annies-1) is making it easy to enjoy sustainable and delicious foods. The brand offers a line of plant-based products made with jackfruit as their first ingredient. All the products are "real food," made from a "real plant" that was grown on a tree by over 1,000 real farmers who benefit from its sale. With a deliciously meaty texture, jackfruit is naturally and organically rich in fiber, protein, potassium, iron, and calcium. Beyond that, Jack & Annie's products are low in calories, sodium, and contain zero cholesterol, unhealthful fats, and sugar. Some stand-out products from the brand include [Savory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parlor-doughnuts-rotating-menu) Jack Crumbles, Smoky Jack Pulled Pork, and [Crispy Jack Nuggets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tater-cheezz-nuggets) -- to name a few.
