Our take

CleanPlate review

Real jackfruit, very sweet, fried in palm oil.

To Be Honest's Ripe Jackfruit Chips are slices of ripe jackfruit fried in palmolein and dusted with a chilli-mango spice mix.

CleanPlate scores it CB4. The C for nutrition reflects very high fibre but little protein. The B for ingredients reflects a real-fruit base with real spices, held back by palm oil. The 4 for risk comes from sugar share and energy density.

Common misconceptions

Frying and drying concentrate the sugar and add oil. Fresh jackfruit is far lighter.

Myth: "No added sugar line means no sugar"

Sugar is listed as an ingredient, and total sugar is almost half the pack.

Smarter ways to eat it

Eat fresh jackfruit in season

Ripe jackfruit pods give the same flavour with water and fibre intact.
