Mbongo tchobi seeds<\/h2>\n

Mbongo Tchobi seeds, also known as the Seed of Maniguette, mbongo in Bassa, or Bongolo in Beti, come from a plant native to Africa with fragrant foliage, and its seeds are flavored like pepper. Its leaves are long, green, evergreen, and very fragrant. The fruit of the maniguette is a brown shallot-shaped pod emerging from the foot of the plant and containing many small brown seeds.<\/p>\n

In Cooking<\/h3>\n

Mbongo or the seeds of the maniguette are used ground like pepper but are less pungent and have a different fragrance. They are very appreciated in freshwater fish and game and are attributed aphrodisiac virtues.<\/p>\n

Therapeutic Virtues<\/h3>\n

Mbongo or La Maniguette is rich in tannins, mineral salts, proteins, and phenylethylalkoxyketones. In Africa, this plant is used to treat snake bites, intestinal worms, leprosy, and measles. The seeds are used to treat painful menstruation or excessive lactation. Cooked in boiling water, the root is used to treat sterility. In Western countries, the maniguette is used as a spice to replace pepper, as a stimulant, and as an ingredient in the manufacture of alcohols. The seeds have anti-inflammatory properties. They should be consumed in moderation, as they have a very diuretic effect.<\/p>\n

Recipe<\/h3>\n

The essential oil of maniguette is obtained from the steam distillation of the leaves. It is relaxing and soothing. In the bath water, it diffuses a sweet and fruity scent and provides a feeling of well-being. In massage, it can be used pure or diluted with vegetable oils. It is used in synergy with saro or butterfly ginger<\/strong><\/a> essential oil. To promote sleep, it can be used in diffusion or in a few drops directly on the pillow. The essential oil of maniguette is also sought after in cosmetics to improve the appearance of the skin and in perfumery to create a rare and precious fragrance.<\/p>\n
