Breadfruit is a species of flowering tree in the mulberry and jackfruit family believed to be a domesticated descendant of Artocarpus camansi originating in New Guinea, the Maluku Islands, and the Philippines. It was initially spread to Oceania via the Austronesian expansion.
Breadfruit is a tree. The seeds and fruit of breadfruit are eaten as foods. The roots, leaves, and latex are used to make medicine.
Breadfruit is used for arthritis, asthma, back pain, wound healing, ear infections, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
