The study focused on the utilization of Breadnut (Artocarpus camansi) seeds as a coffee brew, involving the identification of their phytonutrient composition, preparation procedures, most favorable quantities, and the determination of their acceptability and socio-economic desirability. Descriptive and Research and Development methods were employed, with data analyzed using percentages and weighted means. Findings showed that breadnut seeds are rich in carbohydrates, protein, fats, calories, sodium, and various minerals, and vitamins, and contain no cholesterol. The preparation involved oven drying, roasting, grinding, and brewing. Sensory evaluation revealed that the most favored quantity of breadnut seed brew was ½ tablespoon, which had the highest average weighted mean compared to 1 ½ tablespoon and 2 tablespoons quantities. The study concluded that breadnut seed brew is an excellent alternative to commercial coffee due to its nutritional benefits. The proper preparation process ensured high-quality output, and the product was rated as very highly acceptable, indicating an exceptional coffee brew quality. Furthermore, breadnut seed brew has socio-economic potential, offering a nutritious and affordable alternative, serving as a source of income, meeting basic needs, supporting new livelihood opportunities, and helping reduce food wastage through recycling.
