Panocha is not palm sugar. It is cane sugar (mascobado unground). Palm sugar is lighter in color and is easy to shave

To add, this is a favorite after-typhoon food because this easily falls with strong winds.

this really reminds me of my childhood. bilib talaga ako sa ‘yo on how massive is your food experiences. pati kolo alam mo.

anyway, ours is a boiled version, peeled, then sliced and dipped in brown sugar. though this fruit has this distint smell others won’t like it but if you’ll get used to it. it’s like an exotic fruit hahhaha

p.s. the once huge kolo tree in our neighbor had long-been uprooted by typhoon so my younger cousins no longer have an idea what this breadfruit is all about.

Apicio, on your comment we actually tried your proposed version but it seems the sugar doesn’t like to stick to the fried breadfruit in the manner of kamote or banana. It sounds like a good idea but it looked a bit like breadfruit chips with sugar blobs that looked like cow spots…heehee. It was worth the try. I suppose this is good with just plain sprinled sugar as well. teth! Sayang your breadfruit, try and fry some the next time it’s blooming…you will be amazed. Millet, surprisingly, I am still managing to lose some teeny weeny amount of weight so far…heehee. Breadfruit spoils quickly so perhaps that’s why it rarely makes it to markets, besides the fact that it is totally abundant when it ripens and everyone in the neighborhood can be fed from one tree!

That is just the perfect color and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside is ideal for me. I can almost taste it.

I THINK I saw breadfruit at the Granville Island Market in Vancouver. But I was on the hunt for mangosteen so I paid no attention to it. :)
