Breadfruit is a big, oval-shaped fruit that grows on a large tree. This fruit originates from Malaysia and it was introduced to the Caribbean Coast in Nicaragua by the English. It is therefore mostly found at this side of the country.
The name of the fruit comes from the flavor that is similar to the taste of bread, and in some tropical countries this fruit is even used as a substitute of bread. The fruit has a thick rind like pineapple which has to be removed before processing the fruit. The white flesh is seedless. Breadfruit can be served cooked, fried, or baked, and if the fruit is well-prepared it really looks like a slice of bread. The fruit is rich in carbohydrates, calcium, and vitamins A and B.
