Aidan fruit and seeds of selim

As well as food I love getting my hands on interesting things.

This time I got some aidan fruit and seeds of selim from the local African shop.

Seeds of selim are meant to be a African pepper according to the net which I shall try later.

Aidan fruit (perkese) is a dried bean which is similar to starfruit in shape.

You can get them whole dried or grounded powder.

It is said to help regulate blood sugar levels, Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, Lowers blood pressure, Boosts the immune system, Weight loss and anti-aging properties.
