Ulu Breadfruit

Ulu is a local breadfruit variety found on the Hawaiian Islands and in the Caribbean, and is nutritious, delicious, underutilized, and extremely versatile—it can be enjoyed and prepared as a fruit or a vegetable. When roasted, it resembles baked bread. When ripe, you can eat the soft, pudding-like texture like custard. Besides, Ulu is considered a superfood not only because one fruit feeds an entire family and there’s enough fruit on the islands to feed the whole population, but due to its nutritional value. It’s sometimes called the tree potato for how versatile it is in cooked dishes and for how it tastes when it’s mature. But it is also higher in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals than white potatoes.
