香港的麵包樹

博主補充:  鬧市之中, 若發生麵包果砸傷了人, 政府要賠錢, 因此並不化算. 有此難得機會趕快溫習一下世界歷史和生物知識.  太平洋小島 (包括臺灣) 有活動慶祝麵包果節日. 香港要搞活動也具備條件.  由於此樹只長在熱帶, 建議在國家糧食安全角度深入考察香港麵包樹的價值.

Wikipedia:  history of the breadfruit tree 

Because breadfruit dispersal across Oceania was dependent on human seafaring, botanical research has correlated with the human colonization of Oceania, resulting in a theory that humans brought breadfruit seeds from Melanesia to settle in Polynesia and Micronesia over thousands of years.^[4][5]
Sir Joseph Banks and others saw the value of breadfruit as a highly productive food in 1769, when stationed in Tahiti as part of the Endeavour expedition commanded by Captain James Cook.^[5][7] The late-18th-century quest for cheap, high-energy food sources for slaves in British colonies prompted colonial administrators and plantation owners to call for the plant to be brought to the Caribbean. As President of The Royal Society, Banks provided a cash bounty and gold medal for success in this endeavor, and successfully lobbied his friends in government and the Admiralty for a British Naval expedition. In 1787, William Bligh was appointed Captain of the HMS Bounty, and ordered to proceed to the South Pacific to collect the plants. In 1791, Bligh commanded a second expedition with the Providence and the Assistant, which collected seedless breadfruit plants in Tahiti and transported these to St. Helena, in the Atlantic, and St. Vincent and Jamaica in the West Indies.^[4][5] Although Bligh won the Royal Society medal for his efforts, the introduction was not entirely successful, as most slaves ref^[8] used to eat the new food.
