It belongs to the same genus as breadfruit and jackfruit, but is smaller, softer and far more pungent than jackfruit. The yellow pods are eaten fresh and the seeds boiled or roasted; dipped in batter and fried, the pods become a classic island snack.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
