The corduroy or breadfruit is a tropical fruit that tastes like heaven. Once cooked, its texture is soft, but of great consistency. The corduroy is considered a fruit, but it tastes more like a vegetable or a root vegetable. Due to its dense texture, it is usually served as an accompaniment to dishes that contain fish or is used as a base to create fried foods.

Its botanical name is Artocarpus altilis, but it is also known as breadfruit, pan de palo, pan de pobre or in English “breadfruit”.

The breadfruit or breadfruit is not only tasty but also very nutritious. It contains a large amount of vitamins and minerals, as well as having several medicinal uses. Above all, to create home remedies to alleviate digestive problems and attack certain infections.

This is a fruit that no one should stop trying. Whether it is boiled, fried in tostones or mashed to create fried foods, corduroy is still a delicacy. So I wouldn’t be surprised if one day they change the name and call it “manna from heaven.”
