Reply to comment by flavortown_express in Caribbean breadfruit traced back to Capt. Bligh's 1791-93 journey by Culturedecanted

Oh God yes. With mayo-ketchup mmm.

We have have a breadfruit tree (we call it pana in Puerto Rico) but the damn thing hardly produces any fruit and when it does it's too high to harvest. Then I drive down the street and I see a tree teaming with them.

I was told to hit a rusty nail into the tree to help it produce. I did it. Haven't seen any results so far.

Well I wish you luck with your tree. San Juan is the only place I’ve had the tostones de pana. I’d never heard of them before even coming from a Puerto Rican family growing up in Miami. They’re out of this world
