Add another species to the long list of plants and animals being eaten out of existence so men can try to get it up in the bedroom.
This time, instead of medically useless tiger penises or sea turtle eggs, it's an African plant called White's ginger (Mondia whitei ), often wrongly referred to as "white ginger." It goes by many names in Africa, most notably mukombero in Kenya, where it is said that chewing the root of the plant or drinking it in tea form can boost virility and stamina in the bedroom
"It never disappoints, my wife is one happy woman," one Kenyan man told Radio Netherlands Worldwide . "Mukombero allows me to go the extra mile and be naughty with other women as well, it has guaranteed results.
