Tropical Sun Ready-to-Eat Jackfruit Range Exclusive to Asda

Justifiably famed for its meat-like texture, young green jackfruit is often hailed as a “vegan sensation.”

Whether preparing fresh or tinned jackfruit, the process can be long and manually intensive, making it impractical for those who are short of time or not good with cooking from scratch. 

But fear not, faster food fans, the UK’s top World Food brand Tropical Sun has teamed with Asda to offer its customers two ready-to-eat jackfruit products that will delight anyone looking for a plant-based ‘pulled meat’ experience. 

Tropical Sun’s BBQ and Tex Mex Pulled Jackfruit hit the shelves of the Asda World Food aisles on the late last month, just in time for ‘Veganuary.’

The 400g tins will retail at £2.49 (check in store) and are the perfect base for a quick and easy plant-based meal. Stuff the BBQ jackfruit into a lightly toasted brioche bun, top with salad and serve with chunky chips for the ultimate ‘pulled pork’ experience. Load a tortilla wrap with the Tex Mex jackfruit, rice, black beans and guacamole for a burrito that goes beyond!

Vas Sideras, Tropical Sun’s Supermarket Lead said of the jackfruit products: “We’ve seen a soaring demand for plant-based foods in recent years and these ready-to-eat products build off the success of our Jackfruit in Brine and Jackfruit in Water products which are amongst the most popular foods in our entire range.”

That's Christmas would like to point out that Tropical Sun ready-to-eat tinned jackfruit products will, in our experience, make an alternative to the usual nut roasts for the vegan Christmas dinner.
