FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do roasted breadfruit seeds last?
When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, they stay fresh for about 1 to 2 weeks. In the refrigerator, they can last up to a month.
Can you freeze roasted breadfruit seeds?
Yes, they freeze well. Place them in a freezer-safe bag with the air squeezed out; they will maintain quality for up to 6 months.
How do I pick the best breadfruit seeds for roasting?
Look for seeds that are plump, firm, and heavy for their size. Avoid any seeds that have visible mold, soft spots, or a shriveled appearance.
What is a good substitute for roasted breadfruit seeds?
Roasted chestnuts are the closest substitute in terms of texture and flavor. Roasted jackfruit seeds or boiled potatoes can also work in some recipes.

What do roasted breadfruit seeds taste like?

Are breadfruit seeds and jackfruit seeds the same?
No, they come from different trees. While both are starchy and edible when cooked, breadfruit seeds (especially from the 'breadnut' variety) are generally smaller and have a different flavor profile.
Can I eat breadfruit seeds raw?
No, breadfruit seeds should always be cooked (boiled or roasted) before consumption to neutralize anti-nutritional factors and improve digestibility.
