    I think it would be....I haven't eaten it in a while (I don't even know where I can find it here), but I used to eat it often when we lived in PR. Very good when mixed with plantains to make Mofongo!

    I'm neither familiar with the fruit, nor do I like being told what to do on my internets.

    My mother brought it here in Toronto and bammy (cassava) as well and I think they could be good bread replacements but I wanted to make sure it doesn't have any canceling qualities.

    I'm not familiar, but I do what I want.

    Surely if it's a 'fruit' then by definition it is?

    Not familiar. So what is it? Be specific so folks can tell you yea or nea when it comes to Paleo. If I was running would I want to eat this? If I was Paleoing would this be something I'd eat raw?

    If you have to ask, then it's not paleo.

    Lol, it seems everyone answers when I say don't answer unless you have the answer. I should use this on my transverse abdominis question in the other forum. Ha ha ha. Still don't have answer there.

    Brb I am so going add this sentence in my other thread.

    I don't see why not. It's a legitimate fruit and looks to be full of vitamins and minerals, thus meeting the nutrient dense guideline.

    If Paleolithic man lived in a place where breadfruit was an accessible source of nutrition, then he would have eaten it.

    The same goes deep-fried Twinkies.

    I've always been curious about bread fruit. I have heard of it but have never seen it anywhere. No idea if it would classify as Paleo.

    depends on where you base your Plaeo diet.
    European: no
    wherever Breadfruits come from: yes

    I'm sure the fruit is older than actual bread

    It's an open forum. You can't control who can or cannot answer your threads. Get over it.

    Wow! some people are pretty rude....

    The best way I can describe breadfruit is its kind of like green plaintain and less of a fruit. It's a savory item that you [generally] boil and mash and can eat it with other forms of protien. it also has a moderate glycemic load, as compared to other foods.

    Well- I know in the 1700's they tried to replace/substitute fish with breadfruit to sustain the English slavery population since they couldn't stand up to the fish consumption demands.

    I would probably call it paleo- it is a plant. And isn't "processed" but I mean- I'm not really 100% down with the whole paleo thing to begin with- but I mean if that's your cut off- then you're fine.

    I want to give a good attempt but a little blurry on certain foods, I found a few sites that say quinoa does apply and others that say it does not, so I wanted a little clarity.

    Call me cray cray but didn't they take Shad from the local Virginia rivers and use them for fertilizing the fields. . . . .did I history wrong?!? 1700's or back in the day of "Washington"

    Anywho, it is obvious the OP does not understand her own question and it seems I wouldn't run with this, and if eaten raw I may or may not be Paleoing. . . .so I guess to answer the original question I need a cat gif according to MFP folklore.
