More than three thousand years ago, breadfruit fueled the Pacific voyages of discovery that settled islands throughout Oceania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the late eighteenth century, the British expedition that ended with the mutiny on the \u003ci\u003eBounty\u003c\/i\u003e aimed, but failed, to introduce breadfruit to the West Indies as food for enslaved African labourers on sugar plantations. A later voyage resulted in the fruit’s widespread distribution and complicated role within modern Caribbean food cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, breadfruit has been touted as a tool for sustainable development and as a “superfood” with both health benefits and culinary versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRussell Fielding tells these stories and many others, exploring breadfruit’s fascinating global history and varied present-day uses. Bringing together extensive research and vivid travelogues, including learning directly from local agriculturists, chefs, scientists, and holders of traditional knowledge, he provides an immersive narrative of breadfruit’s contributions.
