The Jackfruit Company's Meatless Meals Boast Clean Ingredients

— February 21, 2019 — Lifestyle
In the same way that consumers are able to warm up frozen entrées made with meat, they are now also able to enjoy clean-ingredient, meatless meal options from The Jackfruit Company with its newly introduced 'Complete Jackfruit Meals.' These vegan, gluten-free meals are made with "meaty" jackfruit, which is commonly used as an alternative for meat due to its pull-apart texture and ability to soak up seasonings and marinades.

These shelf-stable Complete Jackfruit Meals are offered in varieties like Coconut + Vegetables + Thai Green Chile and Black Beans + Corn + Tex Mex Spice, which feature whole food ingredients, sauces and seasonings. These meatless meals deliver 260 calories or less, as well as six to nine grams of plant-based protein, plus even more dietary fiber.
