breadbasket
Fertile farming heartland
Breadbasket has meanings centered on providing bread or holding it.
A breadbasket is a container for serving bread at the table.
By extension, a breadbasket is a region that produces large quantities of grain: Ukraine was once the breadbasket of Europe.
Informally, breadbasket means stomach or belly—where the bread goes: He took a punch to the breadbasket.
