DRUMSTICK TREE


I posted an article by T. Selva about certain types of food being able to act as stimulants for love.  One of the food mentioned was the moringa pod (drumstick) which was believed to be able to help develop sexual interest.  The drumsticks taste delicious when cooked in curry.
The tree shown above belongs to my neighbour in Ipoh.  It does not need much care and will grow healthily even if planted by the roadside.The drumsticks are eaten when young. 

Here is some information about the plant:

Scientific name: Moringa oleifera
Family: Moringaceae
Genus: Moringa
