The leaves are in the pot, the pod husks under the pot and the seeds passed out to any and all interested. I am making slow progress. There may be a hundred or 2 trees around the capital atoll Majuro and I have sent hundreds of small packets of seeds to the other atolls mostly thru the education department and teachers.
Personally fresh small pods boiled and served with salt pepper and butter rank as one of the best vegitables I have ever eaten. However I seldom get enough pods to make more than a rare side dish. Scrapping of small bits of root bark added to coconut cream makes a pretty good side dressing for rice or on raw fish. I is very clear why it is called the horseradish tree. Glad to hear you have a Moringa tree to be under, A chicken in every pot AND a Moringa tree in every yard Michael ( still rowing the boat) aka Moringa Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: George Riegg Gambia To: Discussion of biomass cooking stoves ; [email protected] Cc: Su Ba ; Hugh McLaughlin ; Discussion of biomass cooking stoves Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 12:12 AM Subject: Re: [Stoves] Moringa pods and cocnut husks Michael, Wouldn't they be of better use in the pot rather then heating what's in it? Moringa is an amazing plant - not sure if in your place it's used as a nutritional source at all? here in The Gambia we are trying to make great efforts to promote it especially now that climatic conditions have not been favourable for the 2nd year running! Try to use them like lady fingers - yummy :) Cheers George under his morninga tree ----- Original Message ----- From: mtrevor To: Discussion of biomass cooking stoves ; [email protected] Cc: Su Ba ; Hugh McLaughlin ; Discussion of biomass cooking stoves Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 7:43 AM Subject: [Stoves] Moringa pods and cocnut husks I have sliced and diced a good violume of moringa pods. They burn fine but are so light and " fluffy" they have little substance as a fuel in either a TLUD or rocket stove. I would be particularly interested to know more about how Su Ba handles coconut husks Michael N Trevor Majuro Marshall Islands ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://www.bioenergylists.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://www.bioenergylists.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this message.
