Founded in Boulder, Colorado, The Jackfruit Company and Jack and Annie's were started by Annie Ryu, a medical student who traveled to India and was enamored by jackfruit, a plentiful and popular dietary staple food in Southeast Asia. After learning of its benefits and overabundance in Asia, but lack of internationally availability, Annie set out bring jackfruit to the U.S. to support jackfruit growers, reduce food waste, and offer a healthy meat-free protein. Harnessing her entrepreneurial spirit, Annie has not only grown the Jackfruit Company and Jack and Annie's, she has pioneered the popularity of jackfruit in the U.S. by creating supply chains that provide jackfruit to over 6000 retailers from a network of 1000 family farms. As the global leader today, the Jackfruit Company continues to source jackfruit ethically and sustainably while improving the lives of farmers, communities, partners, and customers!
