🌱 Fibers: Plant-based and key to the Protein Transition Did you know that our young jackfruit ingredient #PrimeJack from East Africa is an excellent source of naturally rich dietary fibers and low in calories, making it an ideal ingredient for a balanced diet? That's why we created our #PrimeJack ingredient, an easy-to-use neutral, allergen-free plant-based ingredient that can be used in any application. Here's why fibers are crucial: 🌱 Plant-Based and Healthful: beneficial for overall health. 🌱 Digestive Health: helps to maintain a healthy gut. 🌱 Satiation: Fibers feel full after meals, aiding in weight management. 🌱 Low in Calories and Protein: making them an excellent dietary addition. 🌱 Positive Image: plant-based fibers have a positive image, and rightly so. Hybrid / blended products that incorporate our #PrimeJack ingredient can help to achieve your protein transition goals by combining the best of plant-based and animal-based ingredients. #ProteinTransition #Fibers #Jackfruit #HealthyLiving #SustainableNutrition

🌿 Embracing Hybrid / Blended Solutions: The Future of Protein Transition 🌿 We start this new week with a powerful column from Jeroen Willemsen, Innovation Lead Protein Shift at Foodvalley NL. His insights highlight the importance of hybrid solutions and the incredible potential of our young jackfruit ingredient #PrimeJack in our dietary future. "#Hybrid / #Blended solutions that combine the best of both worlds—plant-based and animal-based—are crucial to making the protein transition accessible and appealing to more people. These products excel in taste, familiarity, and convenience, ensuring that even the most sceptical consumers can enjoy and adopt them." "Achieving our protein transition goals is a challenging yet exciting journey. The key to success: fibers. By definition, it is plant-based and good for health. They contribute to good digestion, a feeling of fullness after eating, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer. " One of the remarkable sources of fibers that stand out is #jackfruit. Jackfruit isn't just a delicious fruit; it's a versatile asset in our quest for sustainable nutrition. Here's why: 🌱 High Fiber Content contributes to good digestion, a feeling of fullness, and reduced risk of various diseases. 🌱 Versatility: From savoury dishes to blended meat options, jackfruit's fibrous texture and neutral flavour make it an ideal ingredient for various recipes. 🌱Sustainability: As a plant-based ingredient, jackfruit supports environmental goals by reducing reliance on animal-based products.

From Seed to Success, We are happy to share that our efforts to scale up our young jackfruit harvest are in full swing! 🍈✨ By carefully managing our harvest and leaving jackfruit on each branch, we allow the remaining fruits to grow more voluptuously. This method not only boosts the quality of our produce but also supports the families in their own food security. Jackfruit is more than just a food source; it holds cultural and social importance in East Africa. Planting and nurturing these trees is seen as a way to honour ancestors and uphold cultural heritage. Let's continue to grow and thrive 🌳💚 #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSecurity #CommunitySupport #JackfruitHarvest #HealthyFamilies
