In addition, research has shown that it is a very important aphrodisiac. It contains important components like citrulline, lycopene, potassium, etc.
More so, citrulline amino acid is present in a substantial amount in watermelon. This citrulline elevates nitric oxide levels in the body. This nitric oxide helps to relax the blood vessels thereby aiding blood circulation. This blood flow to the male sex organ is important for erection.
Watermelon is now known as nature’s viagra as it treats erectile dysfunction.
Watermelon can be eaten normally and can be made into a juice.
Tiger nuts known as Aya in the Hausa Language, have been one of the most recognized aphrodisiacs recipe in Nigeria. This is because it contains numerous nutritious components. These include vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins, etc.
One of such significant nutrients is vitamin E. Vitamin E is known to be an important vitamin for fertility in both men and women. This vitamin improves sperm motility, increases sperm count, and boosts sex drive. Consumption of foods rich in vitamin E increases the level of testosterone. Testosterone is a male sex hormone that is a factor for sex drive. So tiger nuts are really helpful.
Tiger nuts can be eaten in raw, dry, or roasted forms or made into a drink.
Not everyone loves to eat a raw or dried form of tiger nuts. A better alternative is turning these nuts into a milky drink. It is highly nutritious and has the same effect as the tiger nuts mentioned above.
Also, to make it more nutritious, you can add other ingredients like ginger, coconut, dates, etc.
Tiger nut drink is super tasty.

Dark Chocolate also aids blood flow which is necessary for erection because it serves as an antioxidant. It also contains other constituents like phenethylamine, endorphin, and serotonin which put you in the right mood.
Sweet potato is one of the Nigerian aphrodisiac recipes you should take. They are known to have a robust concentration of potassium. Potassium is a macro element that helps to keep high blood pressure in check. This function in turn lowers the risk of erectile dysfunction.

Avocado is a popular aphrodisiac food. It contains numerous nutrients like vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, etc. All these constituents work together to improve the duration of sex. It also prevents premature ejaculation.
Omega 3 and 6 are vital components of avocados. Women with low levels of omega 3 and 6 lose interest in sex. Consumption of avocados helps improve this deficiency.
Almonds are known to be very important for fertility due to their high concentration of Zinc. They’re also sources of essential fatty acids which are important for healthy libido and fertility too.
Ginger is known to be a very important spice. It is used to cook food. It is also used to make drinks.
A good effect of taking ginger is that it aids detoxification and improves blood flow. As stated previously, this blood flow is important for the erection of the male sex organ. More, so, ginger is a good aphrodisiac food as it increases desires, libido, and sexual performance.
Hence, make ginger a part of your regular spices for your kitchen.
