Breadfruit trees grow mainly in tropical regions such as the Pacific, Caribbean and parts of Africa. They produce large, green fruits that resemble bread when ripe.

Breadfruit is rich in carbohydrates, fiber and various vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and potassium.

The flesh of breadfruit can be boiled, baked, roasted or fried. It has a potato-like texture and is often used in savory dishes such as stews, soups and side dishes.

Breadfruit is sometimes considered a sustainable food source because of its high yield and ability to grow in different climates. It also has historical significance as food for travelers and sailors during voyages of discovery in the past.
