    Also called Breadfruit Tree. I would like to know if anyone knows how to get and treat the seeds to grow this plant.

    Here we remove the skin, cut it into slices and fried it coated with batter or cook curry with it with lots of coconut milk. Personally I don't like it.

    The seed ... sorry no idea.

    KK, You are so funny. I will try that recipe and let you know if I "don't like it" either.

    I have learned that people do grow them from seed but can't seem to find the info on how they do it. It sort of looked like banana seeds and I know you can't grow a banana from seed that comes from a grocery store.

    So I also have learned that Breadfruit has a very long shelf life so I still have some time before I cook it or save the seeds.
