BREADFRUIT

Breadfruit is a tall tropical evergreen tree of the mulberry family, native to the Malay Archipelago, and a close relative of the jackfruit and Osage orange.  Breadfruit has been found throughout the South Pacific since prehistoric times, and is a staple food in many of the Pacific islands.

Breadfruit is a round, bumpy fruit, 8-10 inches across.  They are rarely eaten raw, but rather used cooked as a vegetable - any method used for potatoes may be used for breadfruit.  Breadfruit is said to have both an acquired taste and texture.

The bark is used to make cloth, and the wood for furniture and canoes.  The milky sap is used as glue and to waterproof canoes.
