Breadfruit is distinctive for its large size and spikey green exterior. When cooked, its texture is similar to a soft freshly baked bread, making it an excellent substitute for potatoes or other starchy vegetables. Whether roasted, fried, or boiled, Breadfruit offers a mildly sweet, potato-like flavor that complements a variety of dishes.
Rich in complex carbohydrates and fiber, Breadfruit is an energy-boosting food that also provides essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Its versatility extends to various culinary applications—from traditional Caribbean stews to modern vegan recipes.

Breadfruit Pro Tips
For optimal freshness, we ship these Breadfruit fruits at optimal ripeness for roasting/baking upon receipt. As they ripen, their texture softens, resembling a boiled egg yolk, and their flavor transforms into a delightful cake-like taste, however most people cook it prior to peak ripeness.
