Breadnut

Artocarpus camansi

Field notes

Artocarpus camansi, the breadnut, is a species of medium-sized tree in the family Moraceae. The wild ancestor of A. altilis (breadfruit), it is also known as seeded breadfruit to distinguish it from its mostly seedless descendant.

The breadnut is native to New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Maluku Islands, and introduced in the Philippines. Both the fruit and seeds are edible after cooking.
