Breadnut
Artocarpus camansi
The seeded ancestor of the breadfruit, native to New Guinea. Breadnut seeds resemble large chestnuts and are a highly nutritious, sustainable dietary staple. They are exceptionally dense in c
Nutrient Profile
Health Benefits
Metabolic Stability
Rich in complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, breadnut seeds provide a slow, sustained release of glucose into the bloodstream, avoiding rapid insulin spikes and supporting long-term metab
Neurological Protection
Extracts from the seeds have demonstrated significant chaperone-like activity, helping to protect proteins from unfolding and defending against amyloid-beta induced cytotoxicity, offering neu
Cellular Repair
Packed with a complete profile of essential amino acids, including leucine, isoleucine, and valine (BCAAs), which are critical for muscle tissue repair, enzyme synthesis, and maintaining cell
Preparation Guide
Best consumed boiled or roasted, 1/2 cup per day.
Best For: Sustained complex carbohydrate energy and stable blood sugar
