Jackfruit Meat Substitutes

The Jackfruit Company Uses Fruit as a Flavorful Alternative to Meat

— January 12, 2016 — Lifestyle
As the number of people following vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian diets increases, so do the choices of meat substitutes on the market. While many of these products are made from familiar ingredients like vegetable protein blends, soy or seitan, The Jackfruit Company makes its meat alternative from jackfruit.

Jackfruit is known to have a taste and texture that's comparable to meat, while also having a composition that responds well to seasonings and sauces. For these reasons, The Jackfruit Company is able to offer flavored products that taste like BBQ, Tex-Mex and Curry.

In addition to offering a number of pre-seasoned varieties that make satisfying additions to burgers, tacos and stir fry dishes, the brand also carries 'Naked Jackfruit,' which leaves it up to the consumer to season the meat substitute to their liking.
Trend Themes
1. Jackfruit Meat Substitutes - Using jackfruit as a flavorful alternative to meat creates new opportunities for plant-based diets.
2. Flavored Meat Alternatives - Offering pre-seasoned jackfruit products that taste like BBQ, Tex-Mex, and Curry provides convenient and diverse options for vegetarian and vegan consumers.
3. Customizable Meat Substitutes - Providing 'Naked Jackfruit' allows consumers to season the meat substitute according to their own preferences, giving them more control over their plant-based meals.
Industry Implications
1. Food & Beverage - The food and beverage industry can explore incorporating jackfruit as a meat alternative in various processed products, such as vegan burgers or vegetarian stir-fries.
2. Plant-based Food - The plant-based food industry can benefit from leveraging jackfruit's taste and texture to create innovative meat substitutes that cater to the growing demand for vegetarian and vegan options.
3. Seasonings and Sauces - The seasonings and sauces industry can develop new product lines specifically formulated for jackfruit-based meat substitutes, offering unique flavors and enhancing consumer experience.
