Breadfruit is a large, round to oval tropical fruit with a green to yellowish skin and a bumpy, patterned surface. Native to the South Pacific and now widely grown across tropical regions, breadfruit is highly valued for its starchy, potato-like flesh. When cooked, the texture becomes soft and fluffy, similar to bread or cooked potatoes—hence the name "breadfruit." It can be roasted, baked, boiled, or fried, making it a versatile and nutritious staple food.
