Breadfruit, grown in the tropics, is a fantastically versatile fruit and is a staple part of the diet of millions of people.

Often referred to as a 'tropical potato', breadfruit is certainly one of the most unusual fruits we sell!

Related to mulberry, fig, and jackfruit, breadfruit is native to many regions across the tropics, and is known for requiring minimal care and bearing fruit much quicker than other plants - its yield can be up to 200kg per year! Breadfruit trees are also drought resistant and can survive tropical storms. It is for this reason that breadfruit is such a staple part of the diet of millions of people!

Breadfruit can be enjoyed in a number of ways. The flesh can be boiled or steamed and added to pasta salads, mashed with coconut milk or garlic and oil as a side dish, incorporated into pancake batter, or stirred into dips. It can also be added to curries, soups, and stews, or incorporated into casseroles, burritos, rice-based dishes, and falafel. 

As well as being delicious, breadfruit is packed full of nutrients. In particular, it is a good source of antioxidants, calcium, dietary fibre, iron, magnesium, omega 3 and omega 6 - you can be confident in knowing that the fruit that's delighting your tastebuds is supremely healthy too!
