Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 actually I just found out a link on the biochemical components of it. it does have some starch but it is very minimal and, just like bananas, almost none when it is ripe. so we are going to try it. thanks anyways. maria. > > > > > > Hi. > > > > I was wondering if anyone know about BREADFRUIT.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi , Hmmm.... I looked into it and found that it is 30-40% starch from http://www.botgard.ucla.edu/html/botanytextbooks/economicbotany/Artoc arpus/ and only some of the starch converts to natural sugar when ripe. from http://www.proscitech.com.au/trop/j.htm : " the breadfruit is rich in starch, only some of which is converted into sugars on ripening. " It sounds as if it would have a high amount of unconverted starch.
