    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

    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.
