    The key is to prevent plants such as the breadnut from becoming extinct in DA. The diversity of our flora in DA is being depleted everyday. KEEP DA THE NATURE ISLAND.

    Great picture! It is a rear Dominican treat indeed.
    Those bread nuts make me wish for some. Are you aware that bread nuts are similar to chestnuts and vice versa? Chestnuts are prevalent at Christmastime in the cold countries. There are recipes with chestnuts as also chestnut stuffing for turkey. I have a few of those recipes.
    Any recipes for bread nuts? I have not seen any.
    I recall the words of the song by Nat Kin Cole, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” We could also say and sing, “Bread nuts roasting on an open fire…” They surely taste good. :)
    This reminds me that soon it will be Christmas. How time files.
