Artocarpus camansi, the breadnut, is a species of medium-sized tree in the family Moraceae.[1] It is native to New Guinea, the Maluku Islands, and the Philippines.[2] It is the wild ancestor of the breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) and is also sometimes known as the seeded breadfruit, to distinguish it from its mostly seedless descendant. Breadnut fruits are edible when cooked. The large seeds can also be roasted and eaten.[2][3]
