This is an educative thread. @op, I suggest you illustrate all the correct submissions made so far in a tabular form for easy reference in your first post. At a glance, people will see whatever they are looking for and more suggestions can be added on as the thread progresses.

PigeonPea is called "OTILI" in yoruba.
I remeber in d mid 80's when SAP was in vogue & foodstuffs became very expensive 4 civil servants, my family had to start eating d cowpea. Initialy, we d children didn't like it, but we later love it so so much. I have not come across it again after I left home. Unlike other cowpea family, pigeon pea plant doesn't not crawl. It's a standing plant.

Hmm Memories. Otili. Exactly the same here its just that we never liked it to the end. This beans is gangsters takes like two days to cook. The smell is something else. When it is half done and you squeeze it, the pea flies out of the skin like a projectile.

PapiWata:


Moringa leaves can be eaten fresh off the tree, if you have an area where you can grow your own Moringa tree, or, the green powder made from dried, ground and filtered Moringa leaves can be bought readily all over the world, and added at the rate of one table-spoon per meal, AFTER the cooking process has been completed and the food is ready to serve.

Fresh Moringa leaves will lose most of their nutritional value if they are cooked like normal vegetable dishes, therefore it is recommended that fresh or powdered leaves be added to meals that have already been cooked, so that the Moringa is not subjected to excessive heat before being consumed.

Moringa trees grow from cut sections of stem BETTER than they do from seed, however, the cut stem section measuring a foot or two long MUST be placed flat on the ground, with both cut ends covered in earth, for it to sprout leaves. After planting the cuttings, they will need to be watered regularly to prevent them drying out as the new shoots and roots form. Once your Moringa tree starts to grow, it is recommended that you periodically cut it short, in order that it produces healthier leaves close to the ground for easy harvest.


What is MAC root called in Yoruba sir
