Hey there! I've gone on a lot of amazing adventures since making this, if you'd like to see what I've been up to, here's a playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLvGFkMrO1ZxJldWKpSAhhnxuPYVeCt8oj.html
UA-cam algorithm sure is strange. Binge watched your videos 3-4 years ago and didn't get them in my recommendations at all after that but recently I've been getting these in my recommendations again.
There should be more background commentary in your newer videos about how things would look like skinning the most appropriate mythical animal. "this is what it would look like if you skinned a dragon."
10:12 So this is actually how Harry Potter really ended, the gang ending up making youtube videos about exotic fruits. Edit: Holy shit!!! I stumbled upon this video again after 2 years and I have forgotten that I have watched it before. I thought about how they looked like the Harry Potter trio and looked for a comment about that only to find out that I had already commented about it and it got 2k likes. This is so surreal.
Hi im from Puerto Rico, we peel it raw core and cut it into cubes them we either fry it and then squish in and refry its delicious and you can boil it and then use olive oil with garlic and salt super delicious
I stealthily aquired a number of breadfruit from a few gardens while on holiday in Barbados. I failed in my culinary experimentation the first time but the second i found that cutting off the rind and boiling the skinned product for 20 minutes left it soft like baked potato. I then cut it into slices and fried it in a shallow pan on each side. The end result yeilded these delicious crispy chips which were insanely tasty, especially with either paprika or italian herbs and salt. It was awesome, so worth 20 minutes and 10 for frying
@@lawrencepatrick2486 she didn't say that she brought them back home with her. She said she aquired them. So, you don't know if she cooked them at her holiday home on vacation or what.
@@lawrencepatrick2486 In many Asian / Mexican-Spanish stores in US main land they sell these. In US Virgin Islands these fruits actually grow( and other tropics in the world too).
This is late but you should find an Oil Down recipe. Breadfruit stewed down in coconut milk, onion, garlic, salt and some sort of meat (usually salted pork or Turkey but you can leave it out if you want). It’s really good!
It's yummy when it's almost ripe when roast. The roasted breadfruit has a somewhat sweet taste at that time. Its yummy with ackee and salt fish (Jamaican national dish). We roast it on the stove mostly these days. After it is roasted you can even fry it. It can even be boiled instead of roasted, but I prefer it roasted.
@@Gwynbleiddsanity You can, though you gotta have something to drink cause it's kinda dry on itself. If you fry them thin enough they're almost like potato chips.
Bread fruit makes sense in the context of leaving it in a camp fire and just leaving it there. It's unattended time, and you can cook a bunch at a time.
No. If you do that, it will burn into charcoal. The natives of Pacific islands usually burn stones then toss it into a pit along with the fruit and then bury it for several hours. But in my region (Java), we just cut it into slabs of 1 cm thick, then fry it. Add some salt and it's done.
My dads Jamaican and we usually eat this as a side dish to curries and spicy stews, it's really easy to cook because you can just wrap it in foil and throw it in an oven for a few hours, it usually comes out quite sweet and fruity. Yknow when its ready when you can stick a knife threw it and its soft.
@Bardmusic66 Can be boiled, roasted, mashed as you would potatoes, or even sliced and fried as chips. 😋 Check out some other UA-cam videos on this versatile fruit.
Breadfruit is the potato of the carribean. Add a little bit of salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil, and serve it on the side with salted cod, roasted chicken or tuna. You can also use it as a potato substitute for spanish tortillas. Here in Puerto Rico we also fry them, smash the fried piece breadfruit and fry them again to create "tostones de pana". It's kind of like french fries, but they're served with mayo ketchup instead. It's a bit nuttier in flavor and way more flavorful than a potato. You can eat them sweet and ripe, but we never really do. We cook them when they're still green and, otherwise, bitter if not cooked properly. Some people actually consume the bitter, green skin as a salad condiment. Very versatile fruit all in all 10/10.
Super late but I think this would be an awesome thing to try cooking in a rotisserie oven with a single spit. You'd get a very even cook and since the bread fruit would be constantly moving it wouldn't be as charred. If I were able to find one of these where I live, I might even try it myself. Also, and possibly easier for a normal person without access to a rotisserie oven, you could even try a spit over a fire. Might be a cool thing to try at a bonfire party or something after Covid-19 wanes down a bit. Hope you like this idea but I'm sure it wouldn't be any less time consuming to try.
In Indonesia we peel the fruit when it's raw, cut it into thin wedges, and fry it then add some salt. Trust me, it taste AMAZING when it's fried like that! It's a somewhat popular streetfood here :D
Holden Mcgroine yes but it wouldn’t have the charred flavour that way. What we do here is add butter to it or mash it with cheese “cheesy breadfruit” It is like potato so you have to add to it the same way.
Love that you reviewed breadfruit. My grandmother had a tree and we ate it fried, boiled and fried ,roasted ,curry with shrimps and coconut milk l had this coming out my ears ,very buttery but hated that I had to eat it. Looking back, they are now expensive and scarce in UK . Caution , put a bit of oil on your hands to avoid the latex clinging and staining your hand.
Hey from hawaii! My grandma likes to cut it in cubes and cook it untill its nearly done- then cook it the rest of the way in sweetened coconmilk. Good stuff! Blanch it first to get that skin off a little easier. We also cook it, mash it up, add some spices and whatnot to make into hash (basically put in whatever you would for potato hash) but when its fried up, its GREAT
locally we call it "sukun". the best way to prepare it is to remove the skin and cut it in 1/4 inches slices. cover it with flour (+ any seasoning you like for eg. salt and black peper) and depp fry it. it only take 5 minutes to cook and voila. breadfruit is a common afternoon snack in malaysia.
Indonesian here, according to my culture, we don't serve breadfruit(sukun) it like that... instead, we cut the fruit into a parabolic shape, deep-fry it and dip it in chili-garlic sauce I was surprised the name of this fruit(sukun) in English is breadfruit, because it explains the fruit itself so much!!! Fun Fact: 1. you can use sap of breadfruit tree as a bird trap
Hey, this was really interesting. I liked it vm. My 2nd vid of yours I’ve watched and these have been foods I’ve been really wanting to know about. Thanks a lot. 😊😊😊
LOL! I am from Puerto Rico, and we eat breadfruit all the time, when it is in season! We boil it. We peel the fruit, we cut it into wedges, cutting off the center part of the wedges which contains the seeds. We boil it in salted water. We cook it until the flesh is realtively soft. When you can poke it with a knife or fork and it goes it smoothly. We fish it out of the water, or drain it. Then we put it on a plate and salt it to taste, and pour olive oil over it. It is often used as a substitute for rice. It tastes slight potato-y and very slightly sweet-ish. It is firmer in consistency than a potato. I would NEVER roast it on the stove!
i used to have bread fruit tree in front of my house, i gave lots of fruit every year we even gave them to our neighbors. you can just treat it like potato. peel it, cut into 4 section and throw the middle part, then you can cook it any way you want. You can make french fries with it, croquette, even cake. and it more efficient and tasty than char it on your stove.
Hi, just wanted to let you know that in Puerto Rico it's called "Panapen" and here's one of the ways that we cook it. We peal off the green shell with a knife then we cut it in half to remove the center which is part of the stem and then we dice it like a potato,boil it and season to liking. Or you can also google Puerto Rican recipes for panapen!
If you want to know the real taste Cook in water with salt and coconut scrapings Or Make curry It is taste better than potato Note :use unriped fruit and before cooking you should remove its outer green skin and cut into pieces
My family have this tree in our backyard. We usually makes it into chips or sliced it and steamed it with shredded coconut. A delicious savory afternoon snack!! Really surprised that our method of cooking it far different from the rest of the world. Never thought someone will roast the whole fruit
Thanks, I've seen bread fruit trees in a park near my home in Taiwan during the elementary school years. I've never seen the fruit myself, and always wondered what it's like. The tree in the video were identical to the ones in my memory too.
A ripe breadfruit is very sweet when roasted. Like the name suggest, its more like a bread substitute - eat it with something. There is nothing unsafe about roasting on the stove. When peeling it try not to transfer the chars from the skin to the freshly peeled section.
In Puerto rico this is peeled with a knife while still raw then cut into thick slices and boiled in salt water with a bit of oil, then we typically eat it with a cod stew poured over it.. or in some cases we accompany it with fried chicken.. it's super tasty! My cousin once made flan with it as well.. and my grandmother sometimes allowed the seeds in it to grow really big and would take them out and boil them in salt water to eat.
In Jamaica we eat the breadfruit with meat or you can put butter on it when it's warm. Also you can fry it after you've sliced it. It becomes crispy and we eat that with a meat as well.
SUZIE POOZIE really and truly, it can be eaten with almost anything cause it acts as a substitute to rice. Don't forget your good old calaloo and saltfish, ackee and salt fish, cooked corned beef or mackerel.
What I heard is, Bread Fruit was throwen into a fire, and cooked that way because that's what peeple had. Cut some holes in it, and use a pressure cooker.
Back again with them fun facts. Breadfruit is in the Mulberry family, Moraceae. Closely related to the monkeyfruit, and to the Jackfruit. Seems like a lot of the trees and fruits contain latex, jackfruit especially. Many of them are also characterized by being multiple fruit. Breadfruit is either cultivated for seeds or for the fruit itself. It's one of the highest yielding food crops, and as you mentioned, can make over 200 fruits in a single season. Atrocarpus fruits look much like durian or even sugar apples but are unrelated. I would suggest throwing it in the oven btw. That way you can do other things.
It's a very common fruit in Northeastern Brazil. I usually peel it and cut into cubes before cooking in boiling water, it tastes very similar to cassava. Add some butter and salt and you have a great appetizer. Deep fried is awesome too!
In Trinidad we peel it, remove the core and cut the flesh into chunks then steam it or boil it in salted water, great with butter or olive oil, like potatoes. Can also be cooked in stews, curries or casseroles, or fried into chips or crisps. Can also be wrapped in foil and baked in the oven.
Breadfruit is a staple food in the Maldives. We make chips, desserts, curries, porriages and lots of other recipes with it. One of my favorites is boiled (specially boiled, big halves are laid on a pan and breadfruit leaves are used to cover) with garudhiya (fish(mostly tuna) soup), grated coconut, chillies, lemon🇲🇻🇲🇻🇲🇻
weird that people would find bread fruit weird. 😂 bread fruit grows everywhere where i live. (Guadeloupe). you just cut i up and boil it. like you would do for potatoes.
I don't mean weird as a negative thing, they are very uncommon in the USA though. If you showed a breadfruit to 100 people on the street chances are only one or two people would know what it was.
Thank you for actually describing what it tastes like, and talking about the texture. From the other comments I can see there are easier and faster ways to prepare it, for a first time, and not really knowing much about the prep, you did very well. After watching this, I'd like to try breadfruit. I have never seen any in a market anywhere I've lived, but if I ever do, I want to try it.
In Hawaii we used to wait for it to become mushy to be fried in a pan and it would taste like pancake, chewy sweet pancake. Its also a staple food there like you said. Great video!
+JohnSmithAprilMay Thanks, glad you appreciate the reference haha. If you follow the series, I've also used the main theme for Salo and a Serbian film in some episodes
In St. Croix, the only way my mom and grandma prepared this was by peeling uncooked green fruits, cutting and coring it and cooking in stews with meat or beans. But your way looks interesting too, Im guessing it brings out the bready flavor rather than potato flavor.
Sidenote: I think they used green fruits because they're a bit firmer (for boiling without crumbling) and less sweet. I'd have to ask my mom why though.
Dude I grew up eating breadfruit and never seen or heard of anyone preparing it this way before. It would be boiled, just like potatoes as you stated or you can fry it like cassava or green plantains. It's delicious.
Hey! To anyone who's watching it just now. Breadfruit is common in my place, and yes, we cook it. Never seen someone eat the fruit as is (ripe or not), or at least yet. But we eat it by frying it. So we peel it, and cut it into triangular shape (the seeds is the top of the triangle) and fried it. You can chop it a bit thick, wash it to get rid of the sap, give it a little seasoning (mostly just crushed garlic and salt) and fried it. We make savory rather than sweet. OR, you can make a chips out of it! It's reaaally tasty and fun to eat. Like before, peel and cut it all up, wash, the slice it thinly like ypu want to make potato chip or something, submerge it in water already mixed with seasoning (again, garlic and a bit of salt is enough), and fried it! Always cooked it that way
In Jamaica my family or just any one in general slices breadfruit like you would an apple. Crispy on the outside but a little softer on the inside. served with a sprinkle of salt.
Here in malaysia we called it "sukun" ..we would cut it raw and dip in a batter and deep fried breadfruit like banana fritters (pisang goreng) or cempedak goreng...usually we would eat this type of dish during tea time with hot coffee or tea
I think this channel GREAT! I see SO many things now in the supermarket that I have NO clue what they are or how to eat them. Excellent idea for a channel. Thank you guys!
We usually make a bread fruit fritter..peel the raw bread fruit skin and slice thin the flesh including the core. Dip in a flour+salt+water batter then deep fry. Very delicious! Give it a try.
In PR these are known as Mapen aka Pana. You can fry them like tostones ( fried green plantain). Peel, cut into slightly thick pieces and fry them till they just start turning golden, take them out of the fryer season and squish between a paper bag lightly greased with oil and throw back into the fryer till crispy and golden. Amazing!!
It reminds me that when i was a kid and when we've been making a campfire my parents always tossed the potatos into the embers so they cooked and looked similar. They were also very tasty 🙂
Ulus in general are not eaten raw, the taste is very lacking. However, Samoan ulu is sweet and delicious when eaten raw and soft. Surprisingly good. Ulu is hawaiian for breadfruit.
I'm in Hawaii, where Samoan ulus are pretty rare. I can't say what happens in Samoa. They get large, like a basket ball. I almost couldn't stop eating it, I think I ate half the fruit before I was too full to eat it anymore.
You should check with folks from the Caribbean and Hawaii for ways in using this very versatile fruit. Believe you overcooked this breadfruit. Best way in apartment is to wrap it in foil after it's tried and baked in the oven until it softens (does not take very long).
In Fiji we throw the breadfruit onto the coals and then peel and eat it. It’s good when you have some black bits on it because it ads Smokey and savoury flavours especially when it’s been cooked on a camp fire. That way it really smells and tastes like bread
I learned about breadfruit when reading Mutiny on the Bounty. Breadfruit was the cargo the ship picked up prior to the events leading up to the mutiny itself.
Can confirm. Fire roasted breadfruit is pretty damn good. It's like a potato but different in many ways as well. Slightly tangy and sweet. Starchy and filling too with smokey notes from the fire. Yum.
I'm glad he introduced everyone. When Stu said that I thought crisping was Christan and that was Jarred's name :P I also liked when Stu said "I might eat it with my dinner, if Jarred made me". Cute ;)
Im from the virgin islands, where bread fruit is a fruit we eat daily. i was so curious when i saw this because the way we do it down here is to boil the bread fruit after slicing it. Ive never seen it roasted like u guys did so now i have something to try lol
In Nigeria its called ukwa, we usually didnt eat the fruit, we take the seeds out and roast it or cook it into this salty oatmeal texture with sweet corn mixed in
Breadfruit was involved in the famous mutiny on the Bounty. Captain Bligh was transporting young breadfruit trees to the Caribbean when his crew rebelled and took over the ship.
Drunken Whaler yes it does. The ONLY reason they were there was to get breadfruit to the Atlantic to be a staple to feed the slave population of the Caribbean. It was a very important mission of the British empire. Unfortunately in those days the crews on these ships were practically slaves themselves. I believe Bligh returned later to complete the mission.
Im so amused how you cook it 😆. Us in the province we just put it in a pot add water let boil until soften and done, we also make desserts on that with coconut milk 😋
We call it sukun as well since we speak a mixed version of Malay XD... Well at least my mom does anyway. The locals here call it Del(like the+L). There's also Jackfruit which is very sweet when they get ripe and massive. Very abundant.
Once I actually pick a very very ripe bread fruit like before it fell off the tree and I tried it and it tasted like banana yogurt. I was genuinely surprised! The way I ate a ripe breadfruit was that I got it when it was almost brown and when I pulled it off the tree the core came out so it was fully ripened and like it was ready to fall off the tree and just splat on the ground but I got to it before it did.
Nice to know that. In Brazil we do have bread fruit, specially in the state I live in. I never thought of this fruit served as a french fries. I'll look out for a recipe.
I found one of those once on vacation. I had a pressure cooker and a bbq. I pressure cooked it whole peeled and sliced it in steaks and BBQ it. It was good with sauce and without sauce
easier way to cook it to skin it discard the core and cut it into thin wedges.. dip in batter and deep fry like fritters or tempura.. we indians make a chickpea flour batter with water or buttermilk and some herbs spices. dip the wedges in it and fry.. delicious..
You also wipe your ass with your hand, let livestock roam the cities (fyi its 2018 we've already figuredout that's unsanitary) and have turned every river in your country into an open sewer. I'll stick with Florida oranges or George peaches. You can keep your 3rd world plants.
There are delicious recipes from PuertoRico with breadfruit. I like them fried like a chip season with salt and garlic. You can also boil then in a wedge cut season with garlic salt and olive oil. You need to peel before cooking.
lived in DR for a while and as some of the Puerto Rican peeps have mentioned, this thing can be cooked great the same way you do plantain to make tostones: you peel it, cube it up, fry it to partially cook it, smash the chunks into 1/4 inch thickness and fry again til crispy, and man do they get crispy!!!

I was surprised the name of this fruit(sukun) in English is breadfruit, because it explains the fruit itself so much!!!
Fun Fact:
1. you can use sap of breadfruit tree as a bird trap
Hey, this was really interesting. I liked it vm. My 2nd vid of yours I’ve watched and these have been foods I’ve been really wanting to know about. Thanks a lot. 😊😊😊
LOL! I am from Puerto Rico, and we eat breadfruit all the time, when it is in season! We boil it. We peel the fruit, we cut it into wedges, cutting off the center part of the wedges which contains the seeds. We boil it in salted water. We cook it until the flesh is realtively soft. When you can poke it with a knife or fork and it goes it smoothly. We fish it out of the water, or drain it. Then we put it on a plate and salt it to taste, and pour olive oil over it. It is often used as a substitute for rice. It tastes slight potato-y and very slightly sweet-ish. It is firmer in consistency than a potato. I would NEVER roast it on the stove!
I havent had it boiled. just fried and roasted. Its interesting all the different ways you can prepare it

that’s how Jamaicans cook it ig
i used to have bread fruit tree in front of my house, i gave lots of fruit every year we even gave them to our neighbors. you can just treat it like potato. peel it, cut into 4 section and throw the middle part, then you can cook it any way you want. You can make french fries with it, croquette, even cake. and it more efficient and tasty than char it on your stove.
U can also make a refreshing drink from it
Hi, just wanted to let you know that in Puerto Rico it's called "Panapen" and here's one of the ways that we cook it. We peal off the green shell with a knife then we cut it in half to remove the center which is part of the stem and then we dice it like a potato,boil it and season to liking. Or you can also google Puerto Rican recipes for panapen!
Tip of the day: When cooking breadfruit on your stove top have friends nearby to put you out in case you catch on fire. Next...

Weird Explorer I can’t believe you would go back to a 6 year old video just to link the ripe version after the video blew up, that’s commitment
I respect the hustle
We call it nirphanas in Marathi &kokani
we ussualy slice it up and deep fry it
If you want to know the real taste
Cook in water with salt and coconut scrapings
Or
Make curry
It is taste better than potato
Note :use unriped fruit and before cooking you should remove its outer green skin and cut into pieces
every caribbean auntie kissin' her teeth rn lol
Explain
Right
Bruh Ong im Jamaican and I showed this to my auntie and she kissed her teeth so dam hard
@@happyist3719 Basically cringe.
Means to show disapproval tsk tsk tsk
My family have this tree in our backyard. We usually makes it into chips or sliced it and steamed it with shredded coconut. A delicious savory afternoon snack!!
Really surprised that our method of cooking it far different from the rest of the world. Never thought someone will roast the whole fruit
Thanks, I've seen bread fruit trees in a park near my home in Taiwan during the elementary school years. I've never seen the fruit myself, and always wondered what it's like.
The tree in the video were identical to the ones in my memory too.
In jamaica we always roast it first except when we are making soup then we boil it ,but after its roasted people like to slice it up and fry it ,
It is mostly fiber and is very low on the glycemic index. I am a diabetic and I can eat as much as I want without elevating my blood sugar
A ripe breadfruit is very sweet when roasted. Like the name suggest, its more like a bread substitute - eat it with something. There is nothing unsafe about roasting on the stove. When peeling it try not to transfer the chars from the skin to the freshly peeled section.
I am so thankful that I discovered your channel
In Puerto rico this is peeled with a knife while still raw then cut into thick slices and boiled in salt water with a bit of oil, then we typically eat it with a cod stew poured over it.. or in some cases we accompany it with fried chicken.. it's super tasty! My cousin once made flan with it as well.. and my grandmother sometimes allowed the seeds in it to grow really big and would take them out and boil them in salt water to eat.
In Jamaica we eat the breadfruit with meat or you can put butter on it when it's warm. Also you can fry it after you've sliced it. It becomes crispy and we eat that with a meat as well.
SUZIE POOZIE really and truly, it can be eaten with almost anything cause it acts as a substitute to rice. Don't forget your good old calaloo and saltfish, ackee and salt fish, cooked corned beef or mackerel.
kivu88 that's what I meant by meat. He wouldn't know our kinds of "meats" lol.
Meat is terrible
What I heard is, Bread Fruit was throwen into a fire, and cooked that way because that's what peeple had. Cut some holes in it, and use a pressure cooker.
Kiki Lang “
Kiki Lang nah bake that shit
Matthew Niedbala
cut it batter it and deepfry it. popular snack in malaysia. sukun goreng
I didn't proof read my stuff. What do you think I meant?
The cannibal holocaust theme really makes you think it would be a video where the food would very strongly resist being eaten :P
do you think it can be sliced and wrapped with foil or banana leaf to bake or grill it?
Bread fruit can be eaten raw when its fully ripe its soft, creamy,fragrant and sweet. It taste like sweet potato or freshly bake bread
Maria Stella Rios girl your gorgeous
@@casof97 eh
😋😋😋
Cool
Back again with them fun facts. Breadfruit is in the Mulberry family, Moraceae. Closely related to the monkeyfruit, and to the Jackfruit. Seems like a lot of the trees and fruits contain latex, jackfruit especially. Many of them are also characterized by being multiple fruit. Breadfruit is either cultivated for seeds or for the fruit itself. It's one of the highest yielding food crops, and as you mentioned, can make over 200 fruits in a single season. Atrocarpus fruits look much like durian or even sugar apples but are unrelated.
I would suggest throwing it in the oven btw. That way you can do other things.
The first time I heard of this Fruit was in the book Mutiny on The Bounty. Thank you for the information.
It's a very common fruit in Northeastern Brazil. I usually peel it and cut into cubes before cooking in boiling water, it tastes very similar to cassava. Add some butter and salt and you have a great appetizer. Deep fried is awesome too!
So you see teacher, I didn't finish my homework because I watched a seven year old video about cooking breadfruit
you added some foul flavor to it because you cooked it directly into the methane/butane
In Trinidad we peel it, remove the core and cut the flesh into chunks then steam it or boil it in salted water, great with butter or olive oil, like potatoes. Can also be cooked in stews, curries or casseroles, or fried into chips or crisps. Can also be wrapped in foil and baked in the oven.
Breadfruit is a staple food in the Maldives.
We make chips, desserts, curries, porriages and lots of other recipes with it.
One of my favorites is boiled (specially boiled, big halves are laid on a pan and breadfruit leaves are used to cover) with garudhiya (fish(mostly tuna) soup), grated coconut, chillies, lemon🇲🇻🇲🇻🇲🇻
weird that people would find bread fruit weird. 😂
bread fruit grows everywhere where i live. (Guadeloupe). you just cut i up and boil it. like you would do for potatoes.
I don't mean weird as a negative thing, they are very uncommon in the USA though. If you showed a breadfruit to 100 people on the street chances are only one or two people would know what it was.
Nah I live in the USA and almost everyone knows where it is. Everyone buys it at my supermarket.
Damara Megido sure
@@MoniqueCalender In Texas, I've never heard of it
@@MoniqueCalender In Maryland I've never heard of it. This country is big, could very well be a regional thing within the US.
Thank you for actually describing what it tastes like, and talking about the texture. From the other comments I can see there are easier and faster ways to prepare it, for a first time, and not really knowing much about the prep, you did very well.
After watching this, I'd like to try breadfruit. I have never seen any in a market anywhere I've lived, but if I ever do, I want to try it.
In Hawaii we used to wait for it to become mushy to be fried in a pan and it would taste like pancake, chewy sweet pancake. Its also a staple food there like you said. Great video!
in South-East Asia region, we do slice it, deep fry and then pour or dip into liquid state coarse sugar or palm sugar. very delicious to eat.
I appreciate you using the theme from Cannibal Holocaust as the opening theme of a fruit review video.
+JohnSmithAprilMay Thanks, glad you appreciate the reference haha. If you follow the series, I've also used the main theme for Salo and a Serbian film in some episodes
a man likes his fruit and gut wrenching films
what more could you need?
ur a legend
Came here to say this! Love that theme.
In St. Croix, the only way my mom and grandma prepared this was by peeling uncooked green fruits, cutting and coring it and cooking in stews with meat or beans. But your way looks interesting too, Im guessing it brings out the bready flavor rather than potato flavor.
Sidenote: I think they used green fruits because they're a bit firmer (for boiling without crumbling) and less sweet. I'd have to ask my mom why though.
Dude I grew up eating breadfruit and never seen or heard of anyone preparing it this way before. It would be boiled, just like potatoes as you stated or you can fry it like cassava or green plantains. It's delicious.
Hey! To anyone who's watching it just now. Breadfruit is common in my place, and yes, we cook it. Never seen someone eat the fruit as is (ripe or not), or at least yet.
But we eat it by frying it. So we peel it, and cut it into triangular shape (the seeds is the top of the triangle) and fried it. You can chop it a bit thick, wash it to get rid of the sap, give it a little seasoning (mostly just crushed garlic and salt) and fried it. We make savory rather than sweet.
OR, you can make a chips out of it! It's reaaally tasty and fun to eat. Like before, peel and cut it all up, wash, the slice it thinly like ypu want to make potato chip or something, submerge it in water already mixed with seasoning (again, garlic and a bit of salt is enough), and fried it!
Always cooked it that way

In Jamaica my family or just any one in general slices breadfruit like you would an apple. Crispy on the outside but a little softer on the inside. served with a sprinkle of salt.
It really is not that difficult to prepare. Go to how to roast or bake bread fruit on youtube.
It looks SO GOOD !
Here in malaysia we called it "sukun" ..we would cut it raw and dip in a batter and deep fried breadfruit like banana fritters (pisang goreng) or cempedak goreng...usually we would eat this type of dish during tea time with hot coffee or tea
I think this channel GREAT! I see SO many things now in the supermarket that I have NO clue what they are or how to eat them. Excellent idea for a channel. Thank you guys!
We usually make a bread fruit fritter..peel the raw bread fruit skin and slice thin the flesh including the core. Dip in a flour+salt+water batter then deep fry. Very delicious! Give it a try.
In PR these are known as Mapen aka Pana. You can fry them like tostones ( fried green plantain). Peel, cut into slightly thick pieces and fry them till they just start turning golden, take them out of the fryer season and squish between a paper bag lightly greased with oil and throw back into the fryer till crispy and golden. Amazing!!
It reminds me that when i was a kid and when we've been making a campfire my parents always tossed the potatos into the embers so they cooked and looked similar. They were also very tasty 🙂
Ulus in general are not eaten raw, the taste is very lacking. However, Samoan ulu is sweet and delicious when eaten raw and soft. Surprisingly good. Ulu is hawaiian for breadfruit.
interesting, I'll have to try that. Are they commonly eaten raw there?
I'm in Hawaii, where Samoan ulus are pretty rare. I can't say what happens in Samoa. They get large, like a basket ball. I almost couldn't stop eating it, I think I ate half the fruit before I was too full to eat it anymore.
Wilderness Farming I LOOOOVE sweet raw breadfruit.
"smell the little breadfruit butt" without context that would be hilarious
You should check with folks from the Caribbean and Hawaii for ways in using this very versatile fruit. Believe you overcooked this breadfruit. Best way in apartment is to wrap it in foil after it's tried and baked in the oven until it softens (does not take very long).
i love bread so this is really intriguing.. i'd like to try it some day
In Fiji we throw the breadfruit onto the coals and then peel and eat it. It’s good when you have some black bits on it because it ads Smokey and savoury flavours especially when it’s been cooked on a camp fire. That way it really smells and tastes like bread
I learned about breadfruit when reading Mutiny on the Bounty. Breadfruit was the cargo the ship picked up prior to the events leading up to the mutiny itself.
My favourite!! The seeds are to die for!
Can confirm. Fire roasted breadfruit is pretty damn good. It's like a potato but different in many ways as well. Slightly tangy and sweet. Starchy and filling too with smokey notes from the fire. Yum.
“I’m really glad that’s not your flesh crisping.”
I'm glad he introduced everyone. When Stu said that I thought crisping was Christan and that was Jarred's name :P
I also liked when Stu said "I might eat it with my dinner, if Jarred made me". Cute ;)
would make a good camp fire food, chuck it into the coals turn it around a few times .
+uching Yeah I think that would be a great way to use it. In the kitchen is way too much work for what its worth,.
Im from the virgin islands, where bread fruit is a fruit we eat daily. i was so curious when i saw this because the way we do it down here is to boil the bread fruit after slicing it. Ive never seen it roasted like u guys did so now i have something to try lol
In Nigeria its called ukwa, we usually didnt eat the fruit, we take the seeds out and roast it or cook it into this salty oatmeal texture with sweet corn mixed in
The Ghost shirt!
Breadfruit was involved in the famous mutiny on the Bounty. Captain Bligh was transporting young breadfruit trees to the Caribbean when his crew rebelled and took over the ship.
fascinating!
Does that really count as "involved", though? Unless they mutinied because of the breadfruit.
Drunken Whaler yes it does. The ONLY reason they were there was to get breadfruit to the Atlantic to be a staple to feed the slave population of the Caribbean.
It was a very important mission of the British empire. Unfortunately in those days the crews on these ships were practically slaves themselves.
I believe Bligh returned later to complete the mission.
oh! i know what that breadfruit is, in Indonesia we called it Sukun and we usually roast it or boil it and eat it with chili
Im so amused how you cook it 😆. Us in the province we just put it in a pot add water let boil until soften and done, we also make desserts on that with coconut milk 😋
OMG my fevourite one. we in /malaysia calling this SUKUN. Taste really good when u fried them.
I had that a lot when I was in Malaysia :) Goreng goreng with a teh tarik was one of my favorite snacks.
We call it sukun as well. Marinate it in roasted corriander seed, garlic and salt overnight before frying makes it even better
We call it sukun as well since we speak a mixed version of Malay XD... Well at least my mom does anyway. The locals here call it Del(like the+L). There's also Jackfruit which is very sweet when they get ripe and massive. Very abundant.
Thumbs up for your friend wearing a GHOST shirt!!!
I had some in St Lucia and I loved the stew that was made with it
Once I actually pick a very very ripe bread fruit like before it fell off the tree and I tried it and it tasted like banana yogurt. I was genuinely surprised! The way I ate a ripe breadfruit was that I got it when it was almost brown and when I pulled it off the tree the core came out so it was fully ripened and like it was ready to fall off the tree and just splat on the ground but I got to it before it did.
I’m probably not saying anything new here, but you all look like the cast of Harry Potter. Also the fruit looks neat
We call this 'Ulu in Hawai'i - a restaurant here makes french fries out of it, but they're rather starchy...
Nice to know that. In Brazil we do have bread fruit, specially in the state I live in. I never thought of this fruit served as a french fries. I'll look out for a recipe.
We call it *kulo* in the Philippines.
Aswardejung!? How cool! Thanks for the info!
I found one of those once on vacation. I had a pressure cooker and a bbq. I pressure cooked it whole peeled and sliced it in steaks and BBQ it. It was good with sauce and without sauce
Love the cannibal holocaust theme at the beginning. definitely wasnt expecting it when i clicked the video lol
easier way to cook it to skin it discard the core and cut it into thin wedges.. dip in batter and deep fry like fritters or tempura.. we indians make a chickpea flour batter with water or buttermilk and some herbs spices. dip the wedges in it and fry.. delicious..
That sounds plenty of tasty
Anything can be really good when deep fried correctly
You also wipe your ass with your hand, let livestock roam the cities (fyi its 2018 we've already figuredout that's unsanitary) and have turned every river in your country into an open sewer. I'll stick with Florida oranges or George peaches. You can keep your 3rd world plants.
John Wayne don't talk while in the grave.
@@johnwayne3085 jesus fucking Christ was that really necessary....
There are delicious recipes from PuertoRico with breadfruit. I like them fried like a chip season with salt and garlic. You can also boil then in a wedge cut season with garlic salt and olive oil. You need to peel before cooking.
lived in DR for a while and as some of the Puerto Rican peeps have mentioned, this thing can be cooked great the same way you do plantain to make tostones: you peel it, cube it up, fry it to partially cook it, smash the chunks into 1/4 inch thickness and fry again til crispy, and man do they get crispy!!!
