Breadfruit flour

Breadfruit is gluten Lectin free, high in Lysine, and packed with nutrients. It was one of several “super foods” in ancient times (along with taro & coconut) that enabled the Hawaiians to colonize the eight main Hawaiian islands with what may have been close to 1 million people! Breadfruit flour is in the medium range of glycemic index unlike the high GI level of taro and tapioca/cassava flours. it can be added to any baked goods, waffle and pancake mix. We steam it and dry it at a low dehydrated temperature to retain it’s nutrition. Breadfruit is high in iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, thiamin, niacin, vitamins, dietary fiber, and complex carbs.

Today it is grown in some 90 countries throughout South and Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean, Central America and Africa. Its name is derived from the texture of the moderately ripe fruit when cooked, similar to freshly baked bread and having a potato-like flavor.
