The other print is PAJ2419 (uncoloured). Breadfruit is a starchy fruit that has a potato-like flavour when cooked , similar to bread, and is high in carbohydrates and protein. Breadfruit was seen as a highly productive food and was later transported to the Caribbean as a cheap, high-energy food source for slaves.
