Ulu Fiti
A tier
Ulu Fiti is a Pacific breadfruit cultivar name encountered in Samoan and regional collections—“ulu” being breadfruit—valued in local clone mixes for eating quality and tree habit rather than supermarket branding. Flesh behaves as classic mature-green starch: dense, mild, and satisfying roasted or boiled. Exact fruit size and seedlessness follow the clone line held in each collection. Prepare like other seedless ulu: peel carefully (latex), section, and cook through. Cultural recipes—coconut cream stews, baked whole, fried slices—show it best. Label confusions exist across islands; trust the source collection. Share scionwood within biosecurity rules only.
