Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for fresh breadfruit. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Long-term storage is not possible because chilling injury (brown scald-like skin, failure to soften, poor flavor, more decay) begins even at the low end of the storage range; do not hydrocool, as it browns the skin. Produces significant ethylene: store apart from ethylene-sensitive produce. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
