Time to jump on the jackfruit wagon
Jackfruit is a popular meat-free alternative in vegan cuisine but can often prove troublesome to source in the UK. That’s all set to change with the launch of a new tinned variety from Essential Trading. The Organic Young Jackfruit will now be readily available. Chunks of fresh young jackfruit are canned in salted water, and provide a natural, nutritious and delicious alternative to meat. This new store cupboard staple is packed with valuable free radical fighting anti-oxidants and vitamins, and a natural source of minerals including potassium, zinc, and iron. Essential Trading’s Phil Lee said: “It’s not every day that we get the chance to introduce something completely new to the UK, and to bring a transformative meat-free option to British tables. We look forward to developing delicious recipe ideas for our customers and discovering new ways to cook with this exciting organic ingredient.”
