Today was the 2nd day of the ethnobotany course Mahajanga University in Madagascar! Students practiced freelisting and in the photo a Species ID task, giving vernacular names to local beans and pulses. We also talked rice and enjoyed delicious ‘gord gord’, a snack based on rice flour and coconut.

The seeds contain calcium, along with other essential nutrients like phosphorus, magnesium, and iron.
