Thats what my wife calls it. She says you need to cook it with sugar.

I just did a quick search and it shows as Sah-Kaay - Artocarpus altilis - Breadfruit. The tree looks totally different to what I know as Breadfruit growing on beaches in Oz.

 

Here is a link to a wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadfruit

I asked my Indonesian friend what the same sort of tree was, and he said 'bread fruit'.

I presume this was the same breadfruit which Capt Bligh went to collect.   He stayed in the islands a little too long!

Artocarpus altilis is breafruit but i just bought a similar tree and asked the seller 5 times if it was breadfruit and she said no. In Thai language she wrote what it was on the tree and my wife said it is Artocarpus altilis but that term is used for more tree's in thailand.

 

It can also be a breadnut, looks the same but the fruits have big nuts inside that are eaten and nice.

 

Sa-ke is grown pretty much around here by locals. They can become big tree's. I still want to try them myself.

 

In this family of artocarpus are many more fruittree's that are not in Thailand, look at my post about keledang and marang or pedalai. They are the real deal but not easy to find in Thailand.

We had it in our garden years back when I lived on Mahe, Sheychelles.

Breadfruit comes in both seeded and unseeded varieties. I am not sure how you tell them apart without cutting a fruit. The unseeded variety is propagated from its roots.

Got it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phanera_purpurea

 

Looks very interesting    Thankyou

Phanera purpurea

 

Biological activities[edit]

Phanera purpurea may possess antibacterial, antidiabetic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, anticancerous, nephroprotective, and thyroid hormone-regulating activity.[5] Water extracts of the leaves of Phanera purpurea have been shown to have anti-ulcer activity in animals in the 'ethanol-induced gastric ulcer model'.[6] Water extracts did not show any signs of toxicity when given to rats orally at doses up to 5000 mg/kg.

The seeds are inside those seed pods   but many seeds in each one  in a shape that fits inside those round pods

 

 

I just asked management,the misses,she said Lon-gon, but i think the jury is out on this, I have eaten Lon-Gon, but not like
what you describe.Any one else?

Its not a longan or Longon 

I don't even know if you can eat the seed   but might be useful for some sort of Medication

I had a cutting growing until a snail decided it liked the leaves more than I did

It is not me ,I know a few, but it is my misses ,I show her the photo, she says what it is, write's it down in Thai or tells me how to spell it ,and I go in to Thai Google to have a look at them.
This one I could remember,it was not that long ago when we had some.

Bread fruit it is!

You could just cut it in to small 'cubes' (size of an ice cube) and just boil it in water with a bit of salt.

Cut it like potato chips, and fry it - lovely!

Can cook it as a vegetable and eat it with rice - fantastic!

(of course the skin has to go)

Yip I've got to get a couple of Bread Fruit Tree's for sure   Thai Translation สาเก

Breadfruit....I've been looking for it. I know from my days in the tropical Pacific. There it is a staple starch food. I have many uses for it and would love to get some. I have seen things in the market that I thought was breadfruit, but decided was jackfruit.

Was it Bligh or Cook on his 3rd voyage? Same fruit, anyway.
