About Jack & Beyond
Welcome to Jack & Beyond
Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) has a long and culturally rich history in India, particularly in Kerala, where it is deeply embedded in the region's food traditions, agriculture, and identity.
Historical records indicate that jackfruit has been cultivated in India for over 3,000–6,000 years.
Known as “chakka” (ചക്ക) in Malayalam, this exotic species had been a traditional staple until long time before rice overtook. Given its high nutrient quotient and high yield, it is often deemed as a lifesaver at the face of food scarcity. From Onam feasts to grandmother’s kitchen, jackfruit stars in both savory dishes and sweet delicacies.
At Jack and Beyond, we bring you the mighty jackfruit in all its glory: raw, ripe, dried, powdered, or packed — straight from the lush landscapes of Kerala. Sourced directly from local farmers, Jack and Beyond pledges its commitment to truly local approach in establishing a global presence. Coming from sustainably grown farms and forest-edges, at Jack and Beyond you not only promote sustainability but also support a local farmer.
