Sampoorna Jack Live Plant

Introduction / General Information

The Sampoorna Jack (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a premium, carefully selected jackfruit variety celebrated for its complete versatility, superior eating quality, and processing excellence. True to its name, Sampoorna—meaning complete—this variety stands out as an “all-in-one” jackfruit, equally suited for fresh consumption and a wide range of value-added products.

Unlike conventional jackfruit types that excel in only one category, Sampoorna Jack combines high sweetness, crisp aril texture, excellent filling, and processing stability in a single cultivar. This balance makes it highly valuable for home growers, artisanal processors, and orchard owners seeking reliability and quality across multiple uses.

Fruit Description / Taste Profile

The Sampoorna Jack is distinguished by its exceptional internal quality rather than just external size.

Aril Color: Deep yellow to golden

Aril Filling: Thick, well-filled bulbs with minimal rag

Texture: Naturally crisp with a clean bite

The fruit records approximately 26 to 29 Brix, placing it among the sweeter jackfruit varieties available. The sweetness is rich and rounded, without excessive aftertaste, allowing the fruit to perform equally well in raw and cooked forms.

The crispness of the arils is a defining feature—retained even during processing—making the eating experience both satisfying and premium.
