breadfruits
Pacific island staple
Breadfruits are the large, round, starchy fruits of a tropical tree native to the Pacific islands.
The flesh has a bread-like texture when cooked, hence the name.
A staple food throughout Oceania and the Caribbean, breadfruit can be roasted, baked, or fried: We had roasted breadfruit with coconut milk.
