Description:
No one tasting Bread Fruit for the first time is likely to dispute that it is an acquired taste (and texture). Bread Fruit is used almost exclusively as a vegetable, generally when wholly or partly green. When completely green, the raw Bread Fruit is hard and starchy, like a raw potato when slightly ripe, the raw pulp resembles both eggplant and partly baked bread. Cooked at this later stage, Bread Fruit acquires a texture that might be likened to that of an extremely starchy potato mixed with a plantain, but is much stickier than either. It has a slightly musky, fruity flavor, but at the same time it is very bland.
