Hi all,
I would like to get some Input from all of u as to what u consider to be the best Breadfruit cultivars.
I am interested in Breadfruit flour as it is highly nutritious and has no gluten.
I came across the Breadfruit Institute (
http://ntbg.org/breadfruit/)
Their collection contains 226 accessions and approximately 120 varieties from 34 islands in the Pacific (Cook Islands, Fiji, Federated States of Micronesia, French Polynesia, Guam, Hawaii, Kiribati, the Mariana Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Rotuma, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga and Vanuatu), as well as Indonesia, the Philippines, the Seychelles and Honduras. Out of which they have 20 selected some dwarf varieties
These 20 varieties are a small sample of the amazing diversity found in the world's largest collection of breadfruit at the National Tropical Botanical Garden in Hawaii. Some are varieties considered desirable or superior, a few are unique to their islands of origin, and others are widely cultivated in the Pacific Islands and elsewhere. These and other varieties together can provide a year-round supply of nutritious fruit.
http://ntbg.org/breadfruit/database/search/selected/ Unfortunately it it is almost impossible to import some plants to Ecuador or requires a lot of finance and paperwork. Does anyone have some of those cultivars willing to share seeds?
Thanks
