One can also mix this fruit with wheat flour, in the preparation of homemade bread. At many tables in the northeastern sertão in Brazil, where wheat is expensive and scarce, breadfruit is actually used instead of bread at the morning meal. It is a providential resource in the Northeast of Brazil, because, as a native fruit, it is abundant and cheap. In some places you often toast slices or slices of the fruit on hot stones.
