Aphrodisiacs are foods that are considered to have aphrodisiac properties. The word is derived from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, who was born from the foam of the sea after Cronus castrated his father Uranus. Aphrodite’s name was linked to both love and fertility.
The following list contains common fruits which have been associated with aphrodisiac effects:
Ackee (Blighia sapida) – The fruit of the ackee tree is used in Jamaican cuisine, but it’s also an important ingredient in traditional African medicine. The fruit is shaped like a bell pepper and has a yellow-orange skin with black seeds inside.
Although the fruit itself doesn’t taste like much, when cooked properly it becomes creamy and sweet. The taste is similar to scrambled eggs or tofu, though some say it’s more like eggs over easy or scrambled eggs with mushrooms. It’s often used as a breakfast dish along with rice and toast or breadfruit.
The fleshy part of the fruit contains cyanide compounds that must be removed before consumption. In order to do this, the entire fruit must be boiled for about 15 minutes before being eaten. This process reduces but does not eliminate toxins produced by

Coconut, Fresh young coconuts are green in color. The ripe fruit is yellowish-brown or pinkish-brown. It contains a large seed and a hard shell. Coconuts can be distinguished by their brown “eyes” or “warts”. The flesh is sweet and jelly-like when fresh, but hardens and becomes dry, fibrous and woody as it matures. Coconut water is a refreshing drink that has been used by sailors for centuries because it is rich in potassium, magnesium and sodium chloride (salt). The coconut palm belongs to the Arecaceae family of plants, and has been cultivated throughout the tropics since prehistoric times.
