Wondering about it? If you’ve heard of breadfruit already, you might be knowing its amazing benefits and wait…
Potato is also in the league. So, both of these vegetables/fruits have their own x-factor.
Let’s get into details.
Breadfruit is a very versatile fruit, which can be used as a vegetable when unripe and as a fruit when ripe. Its scientific name is Artocarpus altilis and it belongs to the mulberry family and is native to the South Pacific.
Regular consumption of this fruit provides amazing benefits for our skin, hair and overall health. Not only the fruits but its leaves are very beneficial too. Breadfruit leaves effectively treat diseases such as liver, hepatitis, enlarged spleen, heart, kidney, high blood pressure, diabetes and also to cure skin swelling or itching.
Potatoes are also a versatile root vegetable and apart from that, it is considered as a staple food and it is so popularly used in every household.
If we talk about its availability and cost, potatoes are comparatively cheaper, easy to grow and packed with a variety of nutrients too.
But when it’s about the comparison between these two, anything potato can do, the breadfruit can do as well or in a better way! Chips, salad, fries, chowder, curry, stir-fry and whatnot, it means the list of dishes is endless. Plus, there’s a range of dessert dishes potato can’t do such as pies, custard, pudding, baked goods, and even ice cream.
