Is breadfruit not ukwa?

Mu.nzy14, is this ukwa?

emperorz:
White amala and black soup(originally from ondo) and fish

Munzy14:

Looks like when it is still fresh from the fall or harvested.

But, normally we leave it to stay for long, to ripe and becomes very soft...So you can preess the flesh to bring out the seed which is the only edible thing in that whole fruit.

So, looking at it from outside, it could be ukwa

Mariangeles:


If it is, then it seems like one that is yet to mature, ‘cause there are hardly any seeds in it.

Who knew it could be eaten some other way?
We learn new things everyday.

Munzy14:

Exactly...if it is, it must be one that is still young and not even mature sef.

Ihe ana eri eri ka nku... Chukwu zowa afo anyi

But I won't try this.

Again, it could be a specie of it.

Who knows..

Or a different specie

There are some parts of Africa that eat cassava leaves, and there are some that eat roasted cassavas.
I even just found out that potato leaves are edible too.

@bolded, it could be nutritious o.
No matter what we know and are used to, there are still some new things to learn, even about what we already have, okwaya?

It’s breadfruit that has been peeled, boiled and pounded like pounded yam. It’s healthier. High source of fiber too

Cedarlivia:
It's called ukwa oyibo in my village. Low carb. Can be eaten with palm oil sauce or pounded. Just like Cocoyam/yam shaa, but only a bit tastier. Ate it once as a child. Too tasty (maggi-ish) for my liking then.

Mariangeles:

You can cook o. Well done.

Ok. So, that one is different from the usual ukwa?
Wow! I’ve never heard of it.

I wonder why it’s not commonly eaten, considering how tasty you say it is.

My dear I don't know why it's not popularly eaten o. At the botany garden in my school then the thing go just litter the whole place and no one touches it. Got to know of it because of my momma. She believed unity in diversity starts from the kitchen. And so we ate all manner of dishes

Just like how the popular ukwa we know used to litter the village where I did my NYSC. They just sweep and heap them into the nearest bush .

Mariangeles:


Oh my god! Aru!

Mariangeles:


How come YOU didn’t know ukwa bekee before?

Smh...which aru? I ga araputa kwa onwe gi ebe a o... ha nwere ike ga checkia ma i wu kwa Ada Igbo na VAR...

That is how Ukwa is handled na...You carry the fruit from it's tree where it will fall on it's own when mature, to a safer area where it will stay for days/weeks...To start decaying before the collection of it's seed..which will be washed using empty tomato basket to wash it in the nearby stream if na village or under a running Tap if na town.

I and my cousins did it when we visit village during Christmas way back in the days...Under supervision of late grandma...She has a gigantic ukwa tree she planted when she was married newly..That ukwa tree is more than 70yrs old now...Still fruiting.

Modified!
Kobo did justice with the post up there..That is collection of it's seed after days/weeks of assembling of the fresh fruit...

Kobojunkie:
Ukwa is instead a different specie of breadfruit called Treculia Africana. Typically larger than the breadfruit used in the previous posting.

P.S. There are many different varieties of breadfruit out there. Some seedless, others obviously not.

Munzy14:

I know ukwa bekee na..that is smallee in size...But the act of cooking the flesh remains the 8th wonders of the world..for now..

Oso eligwe wu individual o...ihe m ga emeli wu inye gi mmiri ka i ñuo na enwe ume to continue the race..

Cedarlivia:


I'm not even sure if the correct Igbo name for the yam-like breadfruit is ukwa oyibo. Just that it was what I was told the name is. It is kind of seedless. Slice off the core and boil. The ripe ones taste like sweet potato.

Jackfruit, the one I was just informed is ukwa oyibo/bekee has edible seeds. The seeds are larger just like you described

O wu gi ma.



I know naa, but she implied it in a way that seemed they didn’t/don’t value it where she served.
