Monkey kola is known as Ndiya in Ibibio language. We call it bush allowance because it grows in the bush but this time it is planted around the house now. Now is the season this month of July is the real season of monkey Cola.
It is a well known fruit in Akwa Ibom State and we do not play with it. Right now small size is 1 steem per one. The real color is yellow and it taste like orange. I ate it first time in 1990 which was the first year i went to Akwa Ibom State. Since then till now i have not miss to eat it enough during the season.
Why monkey kola?
- This is because it is good for eye.
- It it good for the brain.
- It is good for the bone
- Very good for cardiovascular system. Etc.
Local Apple
Local Apple has 3 colors, green, pink and Pink red. It is very good for the treatment if of diabetics, heart pain, cancer. It was able to do this because it is rich in fiber. When you here that 1 apple a dau keeps the doctor away, it is the apple.
Star Apple Fruit.
You know when i talk about Star Apple, i am talking about natural remedy for constipation. It is also known as 5 fingers apple. It is rich in vitamin C. It is high in fiber and an oxidant. It is also very good for digestive system and body methabolism.star apple is very sweet, it is juicy and you will love to eat it, just buy for 1 steem you will love to eat it daily. Do you know one thing? Now is the season.
Garden eggs
I wonder how i will talk about fruit and forget about garden eggs. Do you think it will be possible @focusnow? No it will not because garden egg is one of my favorite Fruit and last time i visited Aba, I ate Soup made with garden egg leaves (ofe anara). It is very good for pregnant woman, very good for fertility, digestion, infact it is for overall wellbeing of the body.
