Breadfruit (දෙල්) is a staple tropical fruit tree known for its large, starchy fruits, commonly used in Sri Lankan and tropical cuisines. It can be boiled, baked, or fried and offers a texture similar to bread or potatoes. Rich in carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, breadfruit supports digestive and overall health. Additionally, it's used in traditional medicine to improve heart health, manage diabetes, and treat skin conditions. Breadfruit is crucial for food security in tropical regions due to its nutritional value and low maintenance.
