Product Overview
Fresh Green Tender Jackfruit, locally known as Idichakka in Kerala, is a young, unripe version of the jackfruit that is widely popular in Indian cuisine. This variety of jackfruit is harvested when the fruit is still green and tender, making it an ideal ingredient for a variety of savory dishes. It has a neutral flavor, which allows it to absorb the spices and seasonings it is cooked with, making it a versatile base for curries, stir-fries, and even snacks.
