      Wow wow wow! I will share with my grandfather these other ways breadfruit can be used. Pie. Salad, punch…the almighty breadfruit 😄. Ms. Matheline are you from Saint Lucia or another country? I’m curious since I have never heard of some of these uses.

    Thanks for showing covering the breadfruit with turmeric leaves.ln St. Lucia we also used banana ,macambu or lobster claw (barlizye) leaves.The English name for tesor for those outside St.Lucia is coalpot. Our browning is made from brown cane sugar and the dark browning has not harmed our ancestors/grandparents. Love your blog my girl.love the setting 🎉❤😊😊😊😊😊

      Wow! Hi Ms. Merle. I love reading about your memory of your Dad cooking. The flour bag method is new to me. After your Dad covered the breadfruit with leaves or flour bag, did he then cover it with a pan cover? I noticed my grandparents put on the pan cover even after using the leaves...maybe just to hold it down or prevent dust from flying into the food...I am not sure.

But in this video, the breadfruit Daddy tossed aside was spoilt so it’s no good to use for anything (at least from our 🇱🇨 perspective). But it’s so good to learn how others prepare their breadfruit.
