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.
