And I bet she lived long.

While I don't particularly know the nutrient it contains, I know it's better for our health than curry, maggi and thyme.

Natural food items like this is one of the reasons our ancestors lived long.

My father died at 104 last year and I have started taking care of my health too, beginning from what I eat.

Here's a summary of the health benefits of thyme, according to chatgpt:

Thyme is more than just a flavorful herb—it has several potential health benefits thanks to its rich mix of vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds. Here are the main ones:

1. Rich in antioxidants
Thyme contains compounds like thymol and carvacrol that help fight oxidative stress in the body. This can support overall health and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

2. Supports immune function
It’s a good source of vitamin C and vitamin A, both of which help strengthen your immune system and support your body in fighting infections.

3. Antimicrobial properties
Thyme has natural antibacterial and antifungal effects. It’s been traditionally used to help combat infections, especially in the respiratory and digestive systems.

4. Respiratory health
Thyme is often used in herbal remedies for coughs, bronchitis, and congestion. It may help relax the airways and reduce mucus buildup.

5. Digestive support
It can stimulate digestion and may help relieve bloating, gas, and indigestion. Its antimicrobial effects may also support gut health.

6. Heart health
Some compounds in thyme may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which can benefit cardiovascular health.

7. Anti-inflammatory effects
Thyme contains compounds that may reduce inflammation, which is linked to many chronic conditions.

8. Mood and stress support
There’s some evidence that thyme compounds (like carvacrol) may have mild mood-boosting or stress-reducing effects, though this area is still being studied.

How to use it:

Fresh or dried in cooking (soups, meats, vegetables)

As a tea (steep leaves in hot water)

As thyme oil (used cautiously and diluted)


Note:
Thyme is generally safe in food amounts, but concentrated oils or supplements should be used carefully, especially if you’re pregnant, on medication, or have underlying health conditions.

As for curry powder, it is a mixture of spices blended together, therefore, contains a whole lot more health benefits.

Oya tell us why jennyclay kpeeykus d smell.

fineboynl:
While growing up in my state some people do use it, but a very little of it in their soup. Locust beans.

Just minimum and you won't notice or smell it that much.

But my traveling to the south east what I saw there in some places will make you vomits. Especially some local restaurants. They put too much locust beans in their soups and the whole environment will be smelling. The people you will meet around there sees it as normal but if you are a stranger you can't stand it. And if you are a very irritating person you will likely throw up.


I still think some people are adding it too mucho

You are missing a lot

They are rich in calcium and multivitamins

I love the odour and it's brightens the eyes

Our problem is that our professors are lazy, they don't do any research.
Most of what we eat , drink and use are used because we met them so.
We have rarely done serious empirical test on them.
We need to research a lot, because some of our local stuff are very helpful, some could be toxic if applications are not really own.
BUT, IF I BE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, I GO BAN AKPU, FUFU OR SANTANA, THE SMELL IS EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE.
FROM THE FERMENTING TO THE SIEVING TO THE SELLING AND CONSUMPTION , NA VERY UNBEARABLE ODOUR.
JUST ENTER FINE DUPLEX WITH STATE OF THE ART FURNISHING, ONCE THEM DEY EAT AM OR JUST FISHED EATING IT, OMO YOU GO HATE THE MANSION AND PREFER TO ENTER MUD HOUSE.

That's why someone like you will never be president.

Decryptor:
That's why someone like you will never be president.

Ok, nowahala; Oya make you carry your stinking FUFU become president.

Nice.

Question for you, do you eat use locust beans as part of your culinary ingredients?

Thanks

No, because I'm not familiar with its flavour.

For me to use an ingredient, I have to first understand its flavour, to know what to expect.

I remember doing research on soy sauce and its flavour profile before using it.
