Madatiya Seeds 100% Ceylon Organic

A native tree in the country is about 1300m. It is rare in wild but commonly cultivating in home gardens and also it can be identified as medicine plant. Adenanthera pavonina seeds have long been a symbol of love in China and its name in Chinese is xiang si dou or "mutual love bean". The beauty of the seeds has led to them being used as beads for jewelry. The botanist Edred Corner stated that in India, the seeds have been used as units of weight for fine measures, of gold for instance, throughout recorded history because the seeds are known to be almost identical weights to each other. Indeed, the Malay name for the tree, saga has been traced to the Arabic for 'goldsmith'. The small, yellowish flower grows in dense drooping rattail flower heads, almost like catkins. The curved hanging pods, with a bulge opposite each seed, split open into two twisted halves to reveal the hard, scarlet seeds. This tree is used for making soap, and a red dye can be obtained from the wood. The wood, which is extremely hard, is also used in boat-building, making furniture and for firewood.
