ʻULU (BREADFRUIT)

Hawaiian

Roasted whole in the imu or over coals until the skin blackens and the interior becomes soft and creamy. Ripe breadfruit has a mildly sweet, bread-like quality. The ripeness window for optimal roasting is approximately forty-eight hours — too green and it is hard and flavourless; too ripe and it is mushy and alcoholic. Traditional Hawaiian skill was knowing the exact moment to pick.
