Frieda’s Brings Jackfruit to PMA Fresh Summit

A longtime PMA Fresh Summit exhibitor, Frieda’s Specialty Produce challenges this year’s attendees to “Eat One Fruit A Day That Scares You,” and try Jackfruit, the scary-looking fruit that smells and tastes amazing. Samples of Jackfruit will be available at Frieda’s Booth #2830 both days of the PMA Fresh Summit in Anaheim, California, on October 18-19.

“Jackfruit is a definite showstopper of tropical fruits,” said Karen Caplan, President and CEO of Frieda’s. “It has the impressive size, a unique fragrance that reminds you of Juicy Fruit® gum, and these succulent pods of sweet, yellow flesh that taste like all of your favourite tropical fruits in one perfect bite.”

Jackfruit is the world’s largest tree fruit. As the fruit ripens, the exterior turns yellow and becomes fragrant. When eaten fresh, the yellow flesh has hints of mango, banana, and melon. Unripe fruit is often used as a meat substitute in curries, tacos, and sandwiches. The seeds are also edible once boiled or roasted. NPR called Jackfruit “the ginormous fruit to feed the world” for its versatility.

Frieda’s Booth #2830 will also display other “scary fruits” such as Organic Finger Limes, Buddha’s Hands, Kiwano®, Cherimoya, Mandarinquats, and Mangosteens.
