    F - Fenugreek

    Potential fenugreek benefits include lowering blood sugar, lowering cholesterol, raising testosterone levels and improving lung function in people with asthma.12 The fiber-rich seeds may also boost breast milk production, and ease menstrual cramps.

    Fenugreek benefits come from its edible seeds and the nutrients and substances they contain. The seeds can be added to foods, brewed for tea, ground into flour, and used in supplements. Some studies have produced promising results regarding the benefits of fenugreek, but more research is needed to prove its effectiveness.

    U - Ujuju fruit - This African fruit can be compared to mulberry. Ujuju fruit is known as giant yellow mulberry, though the fruit is about the size of the palm of your hand, slightly bigger than an orange. It’s grown best in the dampened tropical region, from Cameroon to Nigeria and Angola to the south. Ujuju fruit contains 5 to 15 seeds within a fleshy pulp. The taste varies from sweet to sour and is a bit of a mix of both of them.
