Breadfruit is one of the rarest exotic fruits in the world and is even considered a superfood.
Would you ever expect a plant to taste like bread? And yet the breadfruit or otherwise breadfruitwhich grows mainly in the Caribbean, but also in some areas of the South Pacific and Oceania, reminds anyone who tries it of a taste of freshly baked bread or potato.
Breadfruit trees reach a height of 25 m and usually produce large quantities in certain seasons (from 50 to 150 fruits per year). Breadfruits are very rich in starch and before being eaten, they have been baked, baked, fried or boiled. Very ripe breadfruit becomes sweet as the starch is converted to sugar.
