Bread fruit can be harvested,dried and made into flour.For the project,researchers had four bread fruits from the same tree in Hawaii,shipped to the march Lab at UBC Okanagan.Ying Liu led the study examining the digestion and health impact of a bread fruit-based diet. "We wanted to contribute to the development of bread fruit as a sustainable, environmentally-friendly and high-production crop,"Liu says.The researchers designed a series of studies that could provide data on the impacts of a bread fruit-based diet fed to mice and also an enzyme (digestion model. The researchers determined that bread fruit protein was found to be easier to digest than wheat protein in the enzyme digestion model.And mice fed the bread fruit diet had a significantly higher growth rate and body weight than standard diet-fed mice.Liu also noted mice on the bread fruit diet had a significantly higher daily water consumption compared to mice on the wheat diet. Fundamental understanding of the health impact of bread fruit digestion and diets is necessary and essential to the establishment of bread fruit as a staple in the future."Overall,these studies support the use of bread fruit as part of a healthy,nutritionally balanced diet,"says Liu. The use of bread fruit could make inroads in food sustain ability for many populations globally. Liu suggests if a person ate the same amount of cooked bread fruit they can meet up to nearly 57 per cent of their daily fibre requirement,more than 34 per cent of
