After 30 minutes add about 1 tablespoon of salt and allow the breadnut to continue to cook. To check to see if they are cooked, remove one of the breadnut from the pot, apply a little pressure with your fingers on the breadnut and if it bursts open easily they are done cooking. Remove from the pot, allow to cool and enjoy.


How to eat breadnut:  remove the brown hard shell from the breadnut with your fingers.  There will be a thin coating under that hard shell.  Remove the thin coating and inside you will see a cream colored nut, eat that.  there is not much flavor,  the salt adds a little interesting taste to the breadnut.

  1. Hey, honestly your site is coming along :-), but I had a question – it’s a bit slow. Have you thought about using a different host like propel? It’d help your visitors stick around longer = more profit long term anyway. There’s a decent review on it by this guy who uses gtmetrix to test different hosting providers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6s0ciJI4W4 and the whole video has a bunch of gold in it, worth checking out.

  2. Picture this – 3 am in the morning, I had a line of fiends stretched around the corner of my block. It was in the freezing middle of January but they had camped out all night, jumping-ready to buy like there was a sale on Jordans. If you were 16 years old, in my shoes, you’d do anything to survive, right? I got good news though; I MADE IT OUT OF THE HOOD, with nothing but a laptop and an internet connection. I’m not special or lucky in any way. If I, as a convicted felon that used to scream “Free Harlem” around my block until my throat was sore, could find a way to generate a stable, consistent, reliable income online, ANYONE can! If you’re interested in legitimate, stress-free side hustles that can bring in $3,500/week, I set up a site you can use: https://incomecommunity.com
