Breadnut seeds are the seeds of the breadnut tree; the figures here describe them in their dried form. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 74g per 100g, alongside 15g of fibre and 8.6g of protein. Their fat content is 1.7g per 100g. They also provide a range of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, folate, magnesium and potassium.
