Global Breadfruit: Products

A Food Source Comparable to Rice in
Nutritional Value

Our proprietary propagation method now allows for large-
scale propagation and production of uniform, vigorous plantlets, free of nematode infestation and indexed for latent bacteria and virus.
Our Breadfruit plants start bearing fruit after only 2-3 years rather than 7-9 years for standard material—laying the foundation for establishing viable and profitable commercial Breadfruit plantations.

Like the banana and plantain, Breadfruit may be eaten ripe as a fruit or underripe as a vegetable. Methods of preparation vary by country and region. Breadfruit can be cooked and eaten at all stages of growth. The mature fruits are most commonly eaten when mature but still firm and can be boiled, steamed, fried or baked.
