Ivy Newton, a Medicaid specialist for Consulate Health Care, shares her recipe for Fiery Breadfruit Fritters. For those unfamiliar with breadfruit, it is a traditional staple in Hawaii, and is sometimes called the tree potato, for its potato-like consistency when cooked. Breadfruit has high quality protein and packs a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals. This recipe provides a great introduction to this tropical fruit.
