Cooking is a little off-topic for a pharma-related blog, but this recipe for "Viagra salad" caught our eye. After all, we've posted a few "Viagra" recipes ourselves - including the unforgettable Viagra SPAM Mousse.
As noted in the article, the salad contains no actual Viagra. You'll only find vegetables in this Israeli side dish. Its main ingredients are celery root, fresh fennel, and kohlrabi, a bulbous member of the cabbage family that tastes a bit like broccoli stems. All of these vegetables are reputed to be aphrodisiacs, hence the salad's name.
Celery root is supposedly a libido enhancer because it contains androsterone, a metabolic product of testosterone. However, fennel contains phytoestrogens and is said to be a better choice for getting women's engines revving, so wouldn't they cancel each other out?
Regardless, whether or not it has any Viagra-like effects, this is a nutritious dish full of fiber, vitamins, and other beneficial ingredients - and keeping your body healthy is one of the best things you can do for your sex life, so bon appetit.
