The Story Behind Roasted Breadfruit

Breadfruit is vital to food security on Tuvalu's tiny atolls. The tree thrives in sandy coral soil where little else will grow.

Roasting over coals is the oldest and simplest preparation.

Breadfruit sustains Tuvaluan families through seasons when other food is scarce.
