Mandrake (Mandragora officinarum) Seeds

The ancient Eygptian loved sweet mandrake beer. In Medieval Europe (and later) many magical atributes were ascribed to the root of this plant, especially if its shape resembled a human form complete with arms and legs. Uprooting it personally was sure to cause certain death, but possessing it -and caring for it like a child- held the promise of wealth and success. Caution: The whole plant is very poisonous and is particularly dangerous for children!
