In the tropical orchards of Vietnam, jackfruit (mít) grows into giant fruits with spiky green skin and a treasure of golden-yellow flesh inside. Celebrated for its sweetness, rich aroma, and chewy texture, jackfruit has long been a beloved fruit in Vietnam and is increasingly popular worldwide for both direct consumption and culinary innovation.
At Global Mekong Group (GMG), we capture this natural treasure with Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) technology. Each bulb of jackfruit is carefully processed to preserve its flavor, texture, nutritional value, and vibrant color, making GMG Frozen Jackfruit available for global kitchens all year round.
What Makes Vietnamese Jackfruit Special?
-
High Brix Content (Sweetness): Vietnamese jackfruit typically reaches 22–26° Brix, giving it an intense natural sweetness comparable to honey. This makes it ideal for both fresh snacking and use in desserts, smoothies, and bakery applications.
-
Distinctive Aroma: Unlike milder tropical fruits, jackfruit has a unique honey-like fragrance, which intensifies when ripe and remains noticeable even after freezing.
-
Texture: The bulbs are naturally chewy yet tender, offering a satisfying bite that holds up well after thawing.
-
Nutrition: Rich in vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, jackfruit is both energizing and supportive of digestive and immune health.
Harvest Season – Vietnam’s Jackfruit Calendar
Jackfruit in Vietnam can be harvested year-round, but the main season runs from March to August, when the fruits are at peak ripeness, producing larger bulbs, higher juice content, and optimal sugar levels.
- Early-season fruit (Jan–Feb): smaller, less sweet, used mainly for local markets.
- Peak-season fruit (Mar–Aug): maximum sweetness (22–26° Brix), full aroma, large bulbs — perfect for export.
- Late-season fruit (Sep–Dec): still available, but lower yields and variable sweetness.
By sourcing during the main season, GMG ensures consistent quality and flavor intensity for international buyers.
Frozen Jackfruit Bulbs (Deseeded): golden-yellow, ready-to-eat bulbs for snacking, smoothies, or desserts.
Frozen Jackfruit Chunks (Cubes): convenient cut format for beverages, bakery fillings, ice cream, and savory dishes.
