About jackfruit in pineapple juice

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world and grows across Sri Lanka, where it is called kos. Ripe jackfruit has sweet yellow bulbs with a flavor often compared to a mix of banana, pineapple and mango.

Packing the ripe bulbs in pineapple juice sweetens and preserves them without syrup. Jars or cans are heat treated after sealing, so the fruit is shelf stable until opened.

Common uses

• Desserts and fruit salads
• Breakfast with yogurt or cereal
• Smoothies and bakery fillings
• Snacking

Storage and documents

Unopened, preserved fruit typically keeps 12 to 24 months at room temperature; once opened it should be refrigerated. Buyers usually ask for a certificate of analysis, a health or phytosanitary certificate as the destination requires, a certificate of origin and, for retail packs, label details that meet local rules. Exact specification, packing, MOQ and price are confirmed on the quote. Buyers of organic product also ask for the organic certificate and a transaction certificate valid for their market.

What to include in a quote request

A clear request usually states the product form and cut, the pack size and packing (bulk or retail), any labeling or private label needs, the quantity per shipment and how often, the destination port and the Incoterm, for example FOB Colombo or CIF. Mentioning the food safety certification required by the destination market helps the supplier confirm fit.
