The Story Behind Breadfruit in Coconut

Breadfruit is one of the most important traditional crops in Palau, providing calories and carbohydrates for centuries. Simmering in coconut milk transforms the starchy fruit into a rich, creamy dish.

This preparation is gentler than roasting and produces a softer texture.

Breadfruit in coconut is everyday comfort food in Palauan homes.
