- Feel free to try as many combinations as you can to find the ones you like most. Let us know your favourite in the comments below.
- If you get a bloated tummy from breadfruit cooking liquid, don't throw it out, when cooking your breadfruit, just be careful when adding water so that you will have little or no liquid remaining when it is soft. This way, all the flavours and nutrients remain in your finished dish.
