Beware of unknown fruits.

The God's Crown or Mahkota Dewa plant with white flowers at the nursery.


I was at a nursery when I first heard about this plant, God’s Crown, which is known as Mahkota Dewa in Malaysia. This is one plant that teaches us that knowledge is essential for us to be safe. You see, it is a very nice sweet fruit. And it looks really good and tempting. Yet, should you be given the fruit, I must warn you that a taste of its sweetness will be your last delightful taste on earth, for the fruit is so poisonous that you would vomit and die from it. Some humans are like that too, right? Fortunately, there are none of them around in my little world. Thank God for that.

However, in some things poisonous there still exists some good, even humans. The skin of the fruit of this plant when dried is claimed to be a cancer cure. Just look for the plant’s name on the internet and see its uses.

For it to be a cancer cure, the skin of the fruit is peeled from the fruit, dried thoroughly before it is used to be brewed into a drink. Take the drink. But then the information is not complete. The owner of the nursery could not tell how many times the drink is to be taken.

And the young plant at approximately thirty centimetre is not cheap at twenty-five Malaysian ringgit, but then what else can one expect for a plant with a reputation for being an alternative cancer cure. However, if the necessity is not there and if there are children who may be tempted to taste the fruit, do be extra careful and best of all, do not purchase it.

However, since it appears to be an interesting plant with great possibilities, I hope to find out more from all possible sources. Should I find anything new, you can be sure it will be posted.
