How To Prepare And Use Aidan Fruits:
Aidan fruit is very easy to prepare because it is a very exotic spice used in cooking in many West African communities. It is used to spice up pepper soups and yam porridges. It is also used to cook jollof rice and many other African foods. All you need to do is cut the pods into pieces, or grind it and add to your cooking.
However, to prepare the fruits for medication purposes, you are to cut few pods into pieces and boil in water for about 40 minutes. Drink 1/4 cup morning and evening for a month. In serious cases, the pods are ground and mixed with honey or palm kernel oil. Leaves, roots and bark are also cooked like the fruits and taken twice daily.
The greatest challenge is how to source fresh and healthy pods. This is because most of the pods sold by local market women are invalids. Some of them are already eaten by worms; while others are rotten and infested by ants and insects. But you can buy freshly harvested and healthy pods online. Just search for Aidan Fruits Market on google.
