In the cartoon "In the Land of Unlearned Lessons", ruddy loaves grew on the trees … Is there a fruit that, due to its properties, can easily replace the usual loaf of bread?
Why is the breadfruit so named? Everything is very simple! If we have bread - everything is the head, then in Malaysia, India and the Pacific region people are fed the fruits of the breadfruit. What they just don't do with him! Fried, baked, dried, eaten raw. But most often, dough is made from the pulp of ripe fruits and cakes are baked, vaguely reminiscent of the usual pancakes.
The breadfruit is capable of producing a truly great harvest. One tree can produce from 150 to 700 fruits per year!
The undoubted advantage of breadfruit is their high calorie content (about 330 calories per 100 grams). It is also important that the dried pulp of this fruit can be stored for several years.
The taste of breadfruit does not resemble bread, but rather potatoes.
Is it possible to buy this fruit in Russia or can you eat bread made from fruit dough only in his homeland? In Russian stores, breadfruit is not sold, but here the Internet comes to the rescue. There are not many offers in the vastness of the network, but they are, and the price of the issue is quite acceptable: the cost of this fruit is approximately 250-300 rubles.
As for the recipes for dishes from this unusual fruit, there are also few of them, as well as offers for the sale of the fruit itself. Mostly recipes for pancakes or pancakes predominate. By the way, they also note a rather nasty smell of fruit, which, however, disappears during the cooking process.
Breadfruit is a treasure trove of B vitamins, as well as vitamin E, so if you want to become the owner of iron nails and chic strong hair, breadfruit is just what you need!
