Skilled Konparet Bakers

Rosnie, Marie Maude, and other women on our nursery team are becoming experts in baking breadfruit konparet. We were able to put 60% breadfruit flour / 40% wheat flour in the recipe today, giving the konparet balanced and super-packed health benefits.

We’re making enough konparets to distribute to 15 schools in June. As you can see below, baking konparets has become easier for our team, but they need more tables because konparets should be spread out to dry more quickly and evenly. A $100 donation would allow our team to purchase a table and expand their work. Please use the button below to donate, and send an email to info@thehaititreeproject.org to let us know your donation is focused on the konparet table. Thank you!

Making Konparets In La Sikri

Rosnie and Marie Maude are back from their training and making valuable breadfruit pastries at our nursery home in La Sikri. This is a major milestone for our work, and now people from surrounding locales are pouring in to taste our konparet. So far, no one has gone home disappointed.

One of our missions is always to inform, so we're making sure the nutritional value is shared. This week we are experimenting with pricing materials per konparet. Next week, we’ll present the konparet in schools and share the importance of breadfruit and other nutritious foods.

Komparet Training

Marie Maude and Rosnie went back to Jeremie for a seminar on making komparet (breadfruit). Recipes aren’t enough to make the perfect komparet. Witnessing the process is essential to learning how to make a good komparet, and being able to visit the factory will make them master komparet makers in no time.

Increasing Our Breadfruit Flour Output

In the video below you can see the sundried breadfruit flour broken into pieces and being fed into our mill by Samuel, a farmer, and local artist.

As we fill the 20lb bags below, we'll send them to our professional chef, Marie Maude, who oversees the nursery land in Bwalo. She'll be making test products out of flour to sell all over the Saint Louis-de-Sud and Les Cayes regions.
