I’m from Guam and breadfruit was an indigenous staple carbohydrate before modern rice was introduced to the island from Asia. I didn’t realize people also ate it in the Caribbean until I was in my 20s living in a Carribean neighborhood in Brooklyn, which is when I learned about this history. It was a nice reminder of home to be able to have breadfruit in NY.

Currently living in Mangilao. Hafa Adai!!!

But yeah, a single breadfruit tree could support more than a family. I can’t go through all the breadfruit in my yard. Makes great knockoff bbq in the slow cooker with bbq sauce, same taste and texture of pulled pork
