I grow breadfruit in Zanzibar. Here we call it SHELISHELI. We normally cook it with coconut milk and then add fish to it.. It is a delicious wonderfood.

Breadfruit and coconut milk were made for each other

[@yardleyj9391]

Mambo. I'm in Tanga, visiting from Haïti. We boil it, fry, roast, pound it like a mash potato. We call it Véritab. Tuko pamoja.

[@jp3576]

Thanks so much for taking the time put together a ten minute intensive course, and so well done. Now I just have to find the fruit.

[@vannabhagwandeen4589]

[@katherinawarren1523]

Asian grocery stores usually carry international foods like this.

[@clovawolfe6830]

Oh man, I'm Jamaican born, living in Canada and this video makes my mouth water. I want to go out to find me some breadfruit right now. Can't wait!

[@luannadsouza163]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing so many varieties of preparation. God bless you guys.

[@MsJayrah]

Mahalo 'anakala Sam. Just because we live in Hawaii & are Hawaiian it is so important to learn, teach, and live Hawaii. Mahalo NUI!

[@kowalski3769]

That is easily the cleanest kitchen I've EVER seen!! Wow! Everything is absolutely spotless! The equipment, tongs, steamers, fryers, stoves,...everything is completely stainless!! I'm really impressed with how clean everything is. I want to eat it all and I'm sure it's delicious. Mad respect for the staff there in that place. Anyone who puts that much pride in their kitchen must cook amazing food! I've never had breadfruit before but this looks like the place to go to eat it for the 1st time. I really want to eat here!

[@RobertoPerez-lr6hm]

Amazing video! Thank you so much for teaching us these ways to prepare. I'm so hungry now!

[@sandraperez9501]

Thank you! For educating me how to make all your (ULU) breadfruit recipes love your cool, calm and collective way of teaching.🙏

[@mra6308]

If anyone ever wonders when they can be sure to pick the fruits... Just look for the ones with the white sab flowing down the fruits. This is usually a good indication that it's ready.

[@DawnGabrielpoet]

Thank you! Bought a breadfruit from the fruit stand on a whim, and this video was very helpful. I made a delicious ulu salad, and I never would have thought of that.

[@user-vo8io9zk4g]

I grew up in Dema Abbey, a village in Bonny Island, Rivers State, Nigeria, and this fruit was common those days. Very tasty and with a sweet aroma. We ate it fried or cooked and eaten with fish pepper soup like we eat boiled yam. Thank you for making me know various ways it can be cooked. Sadly, the last tree has been cut in the village I grew up... Thanks for the video.

[@diocreciafreitas6841]

You can use Bread Fruit for everything that you want: fried, cooked in the oven, cooked with water in the pan, do pastry, sauce, crisps, eat with fish, meat, egg, etc.

[@miragebeautysupply894]

I am of jamaican decent. I love the breadfruit ripe. you can steam, boil, roast it, or my favorite fry it. When it's ripe it's like sugar. OMG... I can taste it now.

[@DaleBlackBass]

MIRAGE BEAUTY SUPPLY do you eat it raw?

Yes I am from TNT and I also like it ripe Roasted with King Fish

[@sugarplumzredz7308]

I love breadfruit roasted then sliced and fried for breakfast with egg and plantain old Skool breakfast from 🇯🇲

[@lelethkairu]

I agree best when it's ripe, oh my gosh great with copra😚

[@richardnsalvador]

@@DaleBlackBass This comment is 2 years late but, NO, you cannot eat raw Ulu (breadfruit). You have to cook it in some way. Some Polynesians cook Ulu in underground ovens that are basically holes in the ground with heated stones and covered with leaves... with all that heat, the Ulu is much drier but they still taste good when eaten with the preferred protein (fish, pork, beef, etc) that can also be cooked in the underground oven.

[@florentnguetta3627]

Very good explaination and you are sympathique people..I saw it from West africa state of Côte D'Ivoire town abidjan. Thanks

[@maesapolu1832]

I made ulu fruit soup ( like pumpkin soup) add cooked pieces chicken, coconut milk, ginger, and served to my guests.... delicious!!!!

[@iam_trinikimmy]

One of the colonizers brought Breadfruit to the Caribbean & we still love it to this day! #trinidadandtobagogirl

[@yardleyj9391]

I think it might have been indigenous to the region.

[@iam_trinikimmy]

@Yardley J I do not think so, I believe the tree is indigenous to Tahiti/Ploynesian Islands. But we love it in the Caribbean.

[@viiga1]

In a Hawaiian studies class I took, my professor said breadfruit came from Samoa. Not sure how accurate that is.

[@gladtidings4all]

We grow it in Puerto Rico and in my town we call it pana.

[@christianlaws8204]

I tasted breadfruit for the first time. The taste reminded me of an artichok anyone else agree?

We live on breadfruit in the Islands we had a tree in the yard and early in the morning before dawn we can hear the breadfruit falling from the free next morning we have 2 or 3 breadfruit in the yard those fruit keep my siblings and myself alive we were not rich very poor and that staple was our Lunch coming from school very contented.

[@irvingjuarbe2193]

In Puerto Rico , we call these, Pana, Mapen and Panapen. It is interesting to know where these Breadfruits originated from. While watching the movie Mutiny on the Bounty I noticed that they were transporting tree saplings of this on the ship to the Caribbean from the Polynesian islands before the Mutiny took place.
