Deliciously indulgent comfort food

made from jackfruit

KARANA can be a delicious recipe inclusion or ingredient alternative for anyone interested in plant-forward meals. A desirable nutrition profile makes it worth indulging in, too – like the low total and saturated fat, the high fibre content, and the absence of sugar. These attributes tend to be most attractive to my private clients focused on weight management, blood sugar control and digestive health.

I enjoy using jackfruit because it is a great plant-based alternative that appeals to not just vegans and vegetarians, but customers who are generally trying to reduce their meat consumption. As a chef, I also find jackfruit a very versatile ingredient that can be adapted to many different recipes to produce satisfying, enjoyable dishes.

Karana has been and will continue to be one of the best players in the market simply because they know that they have a good, natural meat alternative that effectively follows the timeless ethos of simplicity being paramount to quality. Very few additives, chemicals, processes, manipulation. Just a good product, naturally grown.

At Candlenut we believe in using the best possible ingredients and keeping things simple, which is why we’re thrilled to be a launch partner for Asia’s first whole-plant meat substitute, KARANA. We’re looking forward to introducing our new KARANA dish to diners, to offer them all the texture and flavour, without any processing or manipulation.

I am constantly on the lookout for new innovations, creations and products, sticking to my belief of food from known sources. KARANA is made out of fresh young Jackfruit, which has so much nutritional value and texture, but most importantly, is minimally processed. With the increasing interest in plant-based diets, we are delighted to add a delicious whole-plant meat option, which works in a variety of dishes, to our range of meat and fish specialities
