Breadnut is
considered to be the wild ancestor of breadfruit, Artocarpus altilis. It is
mainly native to New Guinea and possibly the Moluccas and the Philippines.
Currently besides its native
range, the breadnut is also grown outside of in the Caribbean, South and Central
America, and West Africa.
Description:
The trees grow to be 10-15 m high, with a trunk 1 m in
diameter. When compared to Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) and Dugdug
(Artocarpus mariannensis), breadnut has more open branching structure. The same
tree has both male and female flowers and the male inflorescence appears
first. Please visit the National Tropical Gardens Island of Hawaii to read more about this very important food source. Many recipes are available on the internet.
