  • Breadfruit, Breadnut, and Jackfruit: How Are They Related? by Fred Prescod
    Comparing Breadfruit, Breadnut, and Jackfruit: How are they Related? by Fred Prescod In the first article we traced the arrival of the breadfruit plant into the New World. Now we compare breadfruit with its close relatives, breadnut and jackfruit, both also found in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. These three plants all belong to the botanical genus known as Artocarpus. The name Artocarpus is applied to about 60 different trees, all members of the fig or mulberry family (Moraceae), a botanical division which at one time included Cannabis. Trees of this genus are native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. The generic name (Artocarpus) is derived from the Greek words ‘artos’ (meaning bread) and ‘karpos’ (meaning fruit). The name is thought to have been established by Johann Reinhold Forster and J. Georg Adam Forster, botanists aboard the HMS Resolution on James Cook’s second voyage. In J.W. Pursglove’s publication on tropical crops, he reports that Joseph Banks, James Cook and other early travelers brought back descriptions of the breadfruit plant using phrases such as ‘bread itself is gathered as a fruit’. Breadfruit tree – Calliaqua, St. Vincent Breadfruit tree at Calliaqua, St. Vincent. [Photo by Jim Lounsberry] Unfortunately some confusion often arises from the use of common names, where a single common name may be applied to different plants in different areas. Nevertheless breadfruit itself is recognized as a seedless form of the plant known botanically as Artocarpus altilis (also Artocarpus communis), while breadnut (often also listed as Artocarpus altilis) was originally thought to be simply a race or form of the same plant with fruits containing seeds.

  • Jackfruit History This Unusual Fruit Comes from Asia
    Jackfruit History This unusual fruit comes from Asia. A jackfruit is the largest fruit grown on a tree- in fact, it grows on the trunk of the tree. It takes 5-7 years before a tree will produce fruit, but once it begins, the tree will grow 150-200 fruits a year. Some fruits weight more than 100 pounds. The fruit is picked in the summer and fall before they fall off the tree and become overripe. A jackfruit contains lots of excellent nutrition. Unlike most fruit, jackfruit has protein, which aids in growth and makes you feel fuller for longer. They are easy to eat, as they can be roasted, dried, ground, creamed, or just consumed fresh. It is a very popular meat substitution. The flesh is actually thousands of flowers that have fused together. You can buy jackfruits at specialty or ethnic grocery stores. Since jackfruit is an exotic fruit to Americans, it comes at an increased price. It is sold canned or fresh and has a light peach or pear-like flavor. Its texture is similar to that of applesauce or an overripe banana. Although native to India, jackfruit often goes to waste there. It grows rampant, but many people consider it a less desirable fruit, and let it rot. Language Lesson Asian countries each have a different name for the jackfruit. Jaca in Portugal. Chakka pazham in India. Kathal in Bangladesh. Kanun in Thailand. Nangka in Malaysia. Fun Facts Breadfruit, another starchy, potato-like fruit, is cousins with the jackfruit. A jackfruit tree belongs in the mulberry family.
