About Breadfruit seed

Breadfruit seeds are the edible seeds found inside the fruit of the breadfruit tree. They are usually brown, oval to oblong, and firm when raw; after cooking, the interior becomes softer and has a mild, starchy, chestnut-like flavour.

They are commonly boiled, roasted, or otherwise cooked before eating, and may be sold fresh, dried, or cooked depending on the market. The seed is distinct from the starchy breadfruit flesh, and cooking or drying changes its moisture and texture.
