Dennettia Tripetala usually referred to as pepper fruit is a fruity pod with a tinge of pepper which belongs to the plant family of Annonaceae. In local languages in Nigeria, it is called Ako in Edo, Nkarika in Ibibio, Mmimi in Igbo and Ata Igbere in Yoruba. It grows on a tree measuring 6-10 meters in height and its fruiting season begins from late March to Late May every year depending on the volume of rain fall. The fruits/pods may come in both ripened or green pods. Pepper fruit pods have been said to stop prostate cancer, ameliorate liver, kidney damages caused by multiple exposures to toxic substances (The Guardian of 25th May 2017). Apart from the discoveries, it has been said that, it prevents and treats glaucoma, food poisoning, indigestion and heart burns. According researchers, the pods are rich in protein, carbohydrates, Vitamins A, C and E respectively. Recently, Observation was made that, in Nigeria, this fruity pods are only eaten leisurely when in its season and after then, nothing is heard about the it. Lately, we also discovered that, the pods can be dried and stored for future use as against preserving only the seeds. After drying and storage of the pods, it could be used for spice mix with other spices to promote good health. Are you have digestion problems? (in-digestion of foods leads to excess weight gain) All you need do is, chew 2-3 pods to aid digestion and it clears heart burns. Personally, my wife uses it to control her weight. She does this by chewing some pods immediately after meals before going to bed and it is working for her. Pepper fruits wonderfully helps in the fight against bacteria in the eyes. How do yo know this? Chew 3-4 pods before going to bed in the night, and when you wake-up in the morning, you will observe large quantity of dried up mucus in the eyes. 1 Like
