The Breadfruit Tree...

I don’t know if you have ever heard of or read about or even seen a Breadfruit, but I thought it only existed in cartoons because that’s how I first saw a Breadfruit. When I was told by somebody that I was standing under a Breadfruit, I was shocked and amazed. I never thought that it would be real!

This is me with the Breadfruit tree; I was REALLY excited although it doesn’t look like that.

Breadfruit trees are usually found in coastal Southeast Asia, Pacific islands and many tropical regions. The one I saw was in Hawaii. Because it tastes like freshly baked bread after cooking, it was called Breadfruit. Breadfruits were staple food for people in those regions. The person who told me about this tree said that “if you plant three of these in your back yard, then you and your children even your grandchildren will have enough food to eat.”

Unfortunately I did not have a chance to try one of those because it wasn’t the season, but I will visit Hawaii maybe just for that! Haha… Just kidding…
