La Pana en Puerto Rico

Colonization Era:

Pana is also known as: Artocarpus altilis, Panapen or Breadfruit. Arriving on our Puerto Rican shores during Spanish colonization, originally brought to feed slaves due to its ease of cultivation and nutritional value, this exotic fruit would mark the beginning of a lasting culinary legacy.

A Banquet of Possibilities:

La Pana has become a fundamental pillar of the culinary culture of Puerto Rico, offering a rich variety of gastronomic options. From the traditional “mofongo” to the delicious Pana cakes and tostones 🍈🤤, its versatility is unmatched.

The Sweet Secret:

Among the culinary wonders that Pana offers us is the acclaimed Pana flan. This dessert, which combines the softness of traditional flan with the distinctive flavor of Pana, has conquered the palates of the Island.

The Sustainability Revolution:

In modern times, the Panapen has become an emblem of agricultural sustainability in Puerto Rico. Its resistance to diseases and pests makes it a smart choice for farmers looking for stability.
