Breadfruit
What it is
Breadfruit is a starchy tree fruit used in cooked dishes. The reference record describes the raw edible portion before preparation.
What it does
For the named reference food, USDA lists 103 kcal, 27.1 g carbohydrate and 4.9 g fiber per 100 g edible portion. The table gives additional nutrients for that same food form. These figures describe composition, not an effect on a disease or a recommended serving.
Research context and ingredient forms
Reference food: Breadfruit, raw. These are historical SR Legacy data from the April 2018 release, published in FoodData Central in 2019. A different variety, preparation, water content, or commercial recipe can change the result. For a matching food, a portion estimate scales each value by edible portion grams divided by 100.
Using this information
For a cooked meal, distinguish the fruit from added oil, coconut milk, or sauce. The raw-weight table cannot describe a weighed serving after roasting or boiling.
