AmyS Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Just curious. These are staples in the Pacific. I don't, myself, have occasion to eat them often, but I sure do love poi with lomi salmon, and breadfruit cooked with garlic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Well breadfruit flour is allowed (it came up in a previous post) providing it's not being used to replicate baked goods so I imagine breadfruit itself must be fine. I don't think I've ever seen it in Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb0426 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I think - and may be completely wrong - that Taro would be allowed, it just being another starchy root vegetable to choose from. Just avoid the dreaded Taro chip . I say dreaded because those are a food without breaks for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen it in Scotland Thanks! haha I've never heard of breadfruit flour. That sounds weird. Breadfruit is SOOO good.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted December 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2012 I wanted some taro after reading in Perfect Health Diet that it was a good starch. I didn't want to travel to Hawaii to get it, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournegirl Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I do! Want to travel to Hawaii for it that is..... I'm reading primal body primal mind atm and it suggests all starches are bad. Due to whole9 I had chucked out all thickeners except for coconut flour, and bought arrowroot which is tapioca to thicken stews..BUT I think I get a bloated stomach when I have the tapioca, is that likely??

ian Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi, I hope you don't mind my intruding into the topic but I had another question about Taro. I googled taro because I was not familiar with the term, and it came up as being a term that is used to describe "any of several tropical plants used as root vegetables". They listed a few different root vegetables that are considered taro including yams and breadfruit, and I was wondering since both of those are allowed, if that means that ALL root vegetables that are of the taro "denomination" are allowed? More specifically tannier (white and/or purple). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 They grow taro in QLD Juz, but I'd rather go to Hawaii I'm not a big fan, prefer the orange sweet potatoes. Taro has that weird kind of sweet I don't like mixed with anything else (especially meat). I do like the pretty purple though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I guess means they probably aren't a root vegetable anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I guess means they probably aren't a root vegetable anyway White potatoes are excluded because of our behaviors concerning them, not because of any problematic compounds. All other root veg are perfectly acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Robin, the behavior is why white potatoes are W30 excluded, but their skins CAN present some issues for folks with AI/gut integrity concerns on a regular basis. Not stepping on your toes, but just want to make sure that any AI folks here reintroduce them carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healthy_in_Hawaii Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Making ulu for dinner tonight! Ulu is the Hawaiian name for breadfruit. Went to church today and someone had brought a wheelbarrow full of breadfruit from their ulu tree for everyone to take home and enjoy. Awesome! Day 14 of Whole 30, eating local, eating organic.
