Breadfruit (Ulu) Poke

MAIN-DISH/VEGETARIAN/PLANT-BASED/FEATURED
Breadfruit (ulu) is a staple food in Hawaii, the Caribbean, South Asia, and Polynesia. It’s similar to jackfruit and has a mild flavor and consistency similar to potatoes and taro, which means it’s also versatile and easy to use in many different dishes. You can find it in Caribbean, Hawaiian, and some Asian grocery stores, or canned at online grocers.
