Shatine (Sh-at-I-n) is NOT the trinidadian word for Breadfruit, it is a completely different fruit. it is kind of like Jackfruit, but inside the pulp, there are little seeds, these seeds are "shatine" they are boiled in salted water for about an hour and a half, then shelled like nuts, and eaten.

The correct spelling is Chataigne, pronounced (Sh-at-I-n). It is NOT the trinidadian word for Breadfruit, it is a completely different fruit. it is related to the Jackfruit, but inside the pulp, there are little seeds, these seeds are "chataigne" they are boiled in salted water for about an hour and a half, then shelled like nuts, and eaten. They can be found under the name katahar.
