Vacuum sealed ina pouch packed with product vs. water, the company’s Jackfruit offers a cost-effective alternative to canned options on the market. The team also recently introduced the Updog, a vegan take on Chicago’s kosher beef hot dog, featuring smoky and savory flavor with snap.  \nSaid Upton’s Naturals’ founder Dan Staackmann,“Crafted with clean, quality ingredients, our versatile seitan and jackfruit products possess an impressively meat-like texture that chefs can feel proud to work into their plant-based menu options.”  \nUpton’s Naturals’ Original Jackfruit is unseasoned, while the Seitan is offered in Chorizo, Bacon, Ground, Crumbles, Traditional, Strips, Pastrami, and Gyro.
