Come with us on a trip to Jamaica.

What is breadfruit?

Breadfruit looks very similar to jackfruit, but they are not the same. Breadfruit and jackfruit actually have a similar external and internal appearance, as they both belong to the mulberry family. However, behind this similarity lie some key differences in terms of taste, nutrition and plant biology.
Breadfruit, for example, provides more fiber than jackfruit. Breadfruit can grow very large and heavy, but jackfruit is the largest fruit that comes from a tree.

Preparation methods

One of the most popular ways to prepare breadfruit is roasting it. Jamaicans do this outdoors on a wood fire. Roasted, it is often eaten with curry chicken (Jamaican curry dish) or curry goat (goat), and other side dishes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Roasted, it tastes similar to potatoes and can also be used in a similar way here in Germany. Tropical Sun Breadfruit is already pre-cooked and can be used straight away. It can be fried in a pan or baked in the oven.

ingredients

Breadfruit contains more amino acids than soy, making it a good source of protein, and more vitamin C than bananas. In addition, because of its starch, it contains a lot of carbohydrates, which provide the body with a lot of energy.

Recipe recommendations/use

Roasted in the oven/grill or boiled as a side dish to Jamaican dishes. As the main ingredient in stews (eg breadfruit curry) or as an ingredient in soups, similar to potatoes.
