Breadfruit-A Tree of Importance to Hawaii

Breadfruit may be one of the solutions to global hunger. In Hawaii, like in many other places in the world, the growing traditional crops dwindled with modernization, which in turn has led to residents depending on unsustainable food sources. NTBG's Breadfruit Institute is working with other organizations and residents to revitalize the use of this nutritious plant.

    Beautiful work with a beautiful tree - thank you. It's a shame to see how many tropical nations are importing grains rather than simply growing breadfruit for their sustenance. Keep up the good work.

    I'm so impressed with the breadfruit's versatility. I can't understand why we don't see fries, chips, doughnuts, icecreams, etc or anything novel here in california from it so far.

    Thank you. Another way is to get new plant from traveling roots. Our variety of the fruit tree does that and we have to control the new growth, or our back yard will turn like the jungle of breadfruit trees at the hillside across our home. Love the fruit and your institute. I just wish I could make ulu chips like ones being brought in by returning travelers.

    Breadfruit, the descendant of the Breadnut tree of New Guinea and Melanesia that has large edible seeds (nuts) The seedless variety has to be grown from cuttings. There are so many wonderful varieties of Breadfruit. A crucial staple for many Islanders and those in the tropics.

    In Gusm, we cook wedge sliced breadfruit in coconut milk with or without salt and/or sugar.; or add in layers some slices of bbq beef or pork. We also roast over bbq pit. We also make donuts, pound cakes, muffins, I've never tried cooking in soups, curries, etc., and I'm aiming to try it. Yumm sounds good!!

    Breadfruits were the main source of foods in Haiti for Haitians, now they are disappearing and we do not know how to grow them back. Can you help us?
