The Stinking Toe fruit (also called Locust fruit) offers benefits like boosting energy, improving digestion (fibre), strengthening immunity (Vitamin C, iron), and fighting inflammation, thanks to its rich content of antioxidants, minerals (iron, calcium, potassium), carbs, and phytonutrients, making it a natural appetite stimulant and source of vegan protein, despite its pungent smell. 

Culinary suggestions...

To use stinking toe fruit, crack the hard shell to get the powdery pulp, discard the seeds, and then enjoy it raw (it's sweet but can be dusty) or blend it into drinks like smoothies, milkshakes, or traditional punches with milk, sugar, and spices; the pulp can also be dried into flour for baking cookies and breads, or mixed with water for a porridge.
