Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is a starchy fruit produced on a long-lived perennial tree. It originated in the Borneo-New Guinea region and has been distributed throughout tropical climates. It is widely cultivated in household gardens, with limited commercial production.
The Pacific and Caribbean islands are major production areas, with distributed plantings throughout the global tropics. It spoils rapidly, and this limits its commercial viability as a fresh product.
