message: "It was first collected and distributed by Lieutenant William Bligh "
Huh? I'm sure other people have collected the fruit before him! Maybe he was the first white person to collect it. Can somebody knowledgable about the subject matter rewrite that part?--Sonjaaa 19:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: When they say that it was first collected and distributed, they're talking about in the West. Obviously, the natives collected and distributed it before him. ForestAngel (talk) 21:16, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Why isn't there a section on why it's called a "breadfruit"? Is it because it's starchy, or what? ForestAngel (talk) 21:17, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe so.  It is a novel, but South Sea Tales by Jack London discusses breadfruit a bit if you're interested.  I think it is used as a bread substitute... I think I've read elsewhere that it can be microwaved much like a baked potato.  But I have no personal experience with the fruit.--Jp07 (talk) 04:40, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Is it popular anywhere anymore?  Could I find it in a supermarket in Hawaii or Puerto Rico?  I've talked about their food with Hawaiians and Puerto Ricans, but they've never mentioned it.  I was reading the article to look for some sentence such as "it has decreased in popularity" or somesuch, but found none.  I think the article is missing a section about its declining/continued popularity, such as the statement above, "slaves refused to eat it", if it can be cited, and about whether modern cusines use it anymore or if it's popular anymore and where.

replies: text:  It is quite popular in Papua New Guinea and other Pacific Islands. It can be baked in an earth oven, or sliced and fried in oil. I enjoyed eating it there. The taste improves with a little salt (so do potato chips/fries!). Ptilinopus (talk) 08:28, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

text: It's bland, but that just means it takes on other flavors well. Cooked with something like coconut cream, it's very good. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:16, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

text: This pattern is consistent with many other bland foods like taro, potato, cassava, plantains etc. It seems clear that they frequently began as famine foods and only became popular once the cuisine caught up. I reckon that if slaves were offered raw potatoes, they might baulk at them too. I certainly would! But I don't mind crisps or mash etc. If a real chef with plenty of country-food experience were let loose on breadfruit, then very likely it would be possible to make it popular as well. I wonder about its value as fodder; any ideas? JonRichfield (talk) 13:04, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it any good? 

message: Currently the article states that breadfruit contains "an average amount of vitamin C (20mg/100g)". Does this refer to the fruit's average content of the vitamin, or is it a poorly phrased way of saying that the content is middling compared to other fruits? Somebody who knows, please re-phrase this. Martin Rundkvist (talk) 20:44, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Because breadfruit trees usually produce large crops at certain times of the year..." 

message: First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?
I really enjoy that you included the nutritional value of breadfruit, especially because there's people who believe that breadfruit could change the world by becoming the next staple. I'm also glad that you listed what it tastes like, because that's something that I got commented on a lot in my talk section of my own article about. It's hard to describe flavor, but you did a really good job. It's obvious that a person with a background in plants wrote this article because there's a section on propagation, which is really useful!
What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?
As for improvements, I'd want to know more about the habitat. There's a bunch of information on its origin and I think some of that information should be included in the habitat portion of the article. It may seem redundant, but I know some people just go to articles and then jump to exactly what they're looking for. 
What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?
Add citations to the section on Food!
