Kamansi or Seeded Breadfruit is closely related to Jackfruit. Both have sharp points on its skin. This is very rich in starch. I’ve never seen this eaten ripe like jackfruit. It is either roasted, baked, fried, or boiled. I personally have never eaten seeded breadfruit that way. We cook it with pork and coconut milk. It is served like vegetable and eaten with steamed rice as viand.You can also do this to unripe jackfruit.
Our neighbor has this Breadfruit Tree that is very abundant in fruits. There was a lot of harvest so she gave us three pieces.

The green fruit in the picture that you are calling breadfruit is not breatfruit, that is chatine, don’t know if that’s the correct spelling but it’s pronounced, shatine( sha-tyne). A breafruit looks similar but unlike the chatine, it’s skin is smooth, whereas the chatine has spikes, ok just correcting you!
pataka ra man kag ngalan oi. Unsay chatine? Kamansi na. Mora sad kag expert ba.
How to peel the kamansi (breadfruit)
This is called the seeded breadfruit. To peel, you have to slice through the thin layer of the skin using a knife. After peeling, you slice them in halves and remove the core.
