Although the breadfruit and jackfruit are related species, the fruits are quite different. visually, there may be some similarities but breadfruit is smaller and rounder. Jackfruit is sweet and strong aldehyde smell. Breadfruit is starchy and usually requires to be cooked, usually by baking or frying before it can be eaten. Breadfruit is more like a staple than a fruit. Historically, the British Navy liked it as it was a staple that kept well for long maritine journeys and is also rich in much needed Vitamin C which staved off scurvy.Lone Grey Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892067644551128013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-17596773733835546272009-01-17T23:29:00.000+08:002009-01-17T23:29:00.000+08:00Clever squirrels.
