The Cumberland Nature Trail, St. Vincent

What began as a search for a rare parrot became a hike through tropical green, full of guavas, old friendships, and quiet epiphanies. On the Cumberland Trail in St. Vincent, the forest didn’t give me the perfect bird photo. It gave me something better.

Even the chimps are drinking...! But seriously. I truly believe the chimps *are* intentionally sharing fermented #BreadFruit! Tagging @RadicalAnthro

Are these chimps having a fruity booze-up in the wild?

New data suggests that the human inclination toward feasting in groups is part of our deep evolutionary history.

#Breadfruit: The #Caribbean's #HurricaneResistant #food

Susan B. Clark

Excerpt: "Originally brought to Jamaica from the Pacific Islands by the HMS Bounty in 1794, breadfruit was an inexpensive, nutritious food for enslaved Africans labouring on British-owned sugar plantations. The trees grow quickly and fruit within a year of planting, producing 200 to 400 fruits per year the size of a large grapefruit or small watermelon. Breadfruit contains all nine essential amino acids and is a good source of fibre, protein and several minerals and vitamins.

"In the centuries since their introduction, breadfruit trees were abundant across Jamaica, and the fruit has been a staple of the country's cuisine. In recent years, as communities have sought out more sustainable, local and healthy food sources – especially ones that can withstand extreme weather (a breadfruit tree that's damaged in a hurricane can regrow itself) – breadfruit has experienced renewed interest as a nutritious and versatile option, providing both health and economic benefits.

"Typically eaten as a side dish and used like a vegetable, breadfruit is most often roasted, peeled and sliced. Its taste is subtly sweet, with a chewy bread-like quality (hence its name). Its soft and starchy texture is akin to a root vegetable like potato or cassava. Like those foods, it takes on the flavour of the main course with which it is served.

[...]

"Breadfruit can also be processed into flour, creating a gluten-free alternative for baking.

"Karlene Johnson uses the flour at her bakery outside of Kingston called Something Country. Her treats include #bulla (a cake-like snack made with molasses), #bammies (a flatbread originating from the island's #Indigenous #Taíno peoples) and oatmeal cookies.'

"'Historically, breadfruit is important," she said. 'Culturally, every Jamaican can identify it as part of their gastronomic experience. Economically, Jamaica stands to benefit from local and international sales of the raw fruit and other processed products.'"

At the farm I visited the other day, I received a couple soft breadfruit (they had an abundance of breadfruit on their trees and had extra). I used one to make savory fritters, and yesterday I used another to make sunbread!

I mixed the soft breadfruit with a lot of flour, some salt, pepper, little bit of oil, little bit of nutritional yeast, and some oats (for texture and variety). After making a dough that was floury enough to not stick to my hands, I rolled the whole thing in oil and put it in the gosun sport solar cooker. There was no yeast, so it didn't rise, but it was still good.

I was very happy with the results! Dense, moist, and very tasty. It has a bit of the sweetness of the soft breadfruit. Will make again!

@kocienda Looks like it’s a #breadfruit tree.

"[#Breadfruit] is one of the most productive trees in terms of calories per year per unit area. One breadfruit tree could easily supply all the fruit that one family needs." http://wired.com/story/breadfruit-caribbean-pacific-climate-change-super-food

A very nice article about breadfruit in Wired, but they describe it as bland and paste-like! It sounds like they've never actually tried breadfruit because it is actually delicious!!

Breadfruit does best in the tropics, but if I lived in a subtropical climate, I might plant one now, because by the time it matures, that climate will have gotten hotter.

45% saturated fat for breadfruit chips?!?! #breadfruit #nothealthy

@mattotcha The article points out that the breadfruit varieties grown in the US start to spoil 2 to 3 days after harvest and that they are looking at wild varieties in the Pacific islands which may have more commercial success. That may be years away, though. Still interesting.

Ulu season! I'm hoping to barter away whatever I can't fit in my freezer after processing.

best #CSA pickup ever. this is the second time i've gotten their vegan chocolate breadfruit mousse & it was *just* as cold, creamy, & delicious as the first one!

i love that our CSA (https://www.daboxbigisland.org/) includes value-add products from local producers.

sometimes it feels like around here, it's all about moving food around to get it where it needs to go (into a belly before it goes bad!).

Sequel to Mutiny on the Bounty: Exactly 230 years after Capt. William Bligh's voyage on the HMS Providence, a plant biology team has, for the first time, traced five major lineages of Caribbean #breadfruit back to that single introduction from Bligh’s voyage. Three generation of women solved the centuries-old mystery. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/975526 #history #botany

today i got to see the garden of a person a couple neighborhoods over from me.
