Jackfruit from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Holding the title of the world's largest tree-borne fruit, Indian Jackfruit is
deeply embedded in the culinary traditions of Kerala (where it is the state
fruit) and Karnataka. Exported both as a sweet, ripe tropical fruit (yellow pods
possessing a mango/banana aroma) and securely as young, raw green fruit
(internationally praised as a premium vegan/plant-based meat substitute like
'pulled pork').
Aethon Overseas supplies jackfruit available as whole fresh jackfruit, jackfruit pods, raw jackfruit (green). From trial samples to multi-container annual contracts, every lot is cleaned, graded and quality-checked before shipment — with a Certificate of Analysis, phytosanitary certificate and full export documentation included.
