Breadfruit, boiled in unsalted water

Breadfruit is a starchy fruit eaten cooked as a vegetable. The figures here are for breadfruit boiled in unsalted water. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 29g per 100g, alongside small amounts of protein and fat. The same weight contains 0.4g of fat, 20mg of vitamin C and 350mg of potassium.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body. Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods, while potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Boiling without salt avoids adding sodium during cooking; adding salt, sauces or fats will change the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
