Afara Breadfruit

Afara is actually an unusual breadfruit variety with a pinkish or orange-brown skin and a creamy white flesh that can sometimes turn to pale yellow. Nutritionally, one cup of breadfruit contains 106 percent of the vitamin C daily requirements. Vitamin C is a powerful natural water-soluble antioxidant that helps the body develop resistance to infectious agents and eliminates cancer-causing free radicals in the body. For being rich in fiber, breadfruit is also an excellent energy booster. It gives the fullness of eating without increasing the calorie intake.
