Breadfruit
Artocarpus altilis — a tree that grows 60 to 80 ft tall and produces 100 to 200 fruit a year, for decades.
One of the most nutrient-dense foods on earth
A lime-green fruit averaging 3.5 lbs, with a starchy consistency much like potato. It is eaten as chips, fried, or milled into flour.
Originating in the Pacific Islands and brought to the Caribbean in the late 1700s, breadfruit has seen renewed interest since the early 2000s for its climate resilience and nutrition.
