[Stoves] Moringa pods and cocnut husks

[mtrevor]

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,

  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

    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
