This species and the many hybrid varieties are a major staple food tree in the Micronesian region. The fruit is high in carbohydrates and is a good source of minerals and vitamins, especially provitamin A carotenoids. The seeds from boiled or roasted fruit are eaten and in some islands, cooked sprouted seeds are a delicacy. The straight trunks are very desirable for canoes, although the wood needs to be protected from direct sunlight. The sticky white latex is used as caulking and glue. The trees tolerate salinity better than seedless breadfruit. Hybrid varieties may be well suited for other atoll countries and coastal areas in the tropics because they are better adapted to saline conditions.
The passage above talks about the production and use of the breadfruit.
