Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is a species of flowering tree in the mulberry family, Moraceae, that is native to the Malay Peninsula and western Pacific islands. It has also been widely planted in tropical regions elsewhere.

Breadfruit is one of the highest-yielding food plants, with a single tree producing up to 200 or more fruits per season.

Breadfruit is a staple food in many tropical regions.

. They are very rich in starch, and before being eaten they are roasted, baked, fried, or boiled. When cooked the taste is described as potato-like, or similar to fresh baked bread (hence the name).

Breadfruit is a staple fruit of the South Pacific Islands. There is a seedless and seeded variety. The Breadfruit can be eaten two ways. If it is green they cook it and treat it like a vegetable. If eaten ripe it is treated like a fruit. If eaten in the green state, the inside is white and starchy. If eaten in the ripened state it is more creamy to orangie and is sweet. They are large and have a rough exterior, they can weigh up to 10lbs.
