About Seeds, sunflower seed, kernel, raw

The breadnut, or Maya nut (Brosimum alicastrum), is the seed of a towering tropical rainforest tree native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, and it was an important staple for the ancient Maya. Inside the small orange fruit is a single large seed that, once roasted, develops a flavor somewhere between a chestnut, coffee, and cocoa, nutty and faintly sweet. The versatile seed is highly nutritious, rich in fiber, plant protein, calcium, potassium, iron, and antioxidants, and it is naturally gluten-free.

Roasted breadnuts are eaten as a snack, boiled like a vegetable, ground into a flour for breads and porridge, or brewed into a caffeine-free drink much like coffee. The tree is also valued as a sustainable, drought-tolerant food source. Store dried or roasted breadnut seeds, or the ground flour, in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to keep them fresh.
