Only today, I was taking about breadnuts to my gym teacher. She had never heard about it. I showed her some over the internet

[@allthefruit]

Glad to be able to help

Interesting you say it tastes like raw peanuts. I just tried them boiled with salt for the first time in Puerto Rico and to me, they taste just like boiled peanuts (a common snack in the southeastern United States).

[@allthefruit]

Nice. I think i never had boiled peanuts

@@allthefruit i wouldn't know. the closest i've ever been to an Artocarpus plant was when i tried growing a jackfruit seed here in Northern California.. it didn't care for the mild winter chill.

Hello mate Didn't you ask about places to visit in the south of Spain and Portugal that have tropical fruits? I know that in Malaga and Granada there are a couple of farms that grow a lot of tropical trees and apart from selling tropical fruit, they also do business with tourist visits, who visit the finva and can eat all the fruit they want and in portugal I know that there is a nursery that sells a lot of tropical trees, it's called something like "sitio das frutas raras", which I don't know if in addition to seedlings it also has fruit, greetings

[@allthefruit]

Thanks. Do you know the names of the fincas in Malaga and Granada?
