Dar’s octopus soup, fabled aphrodisiac

It is an open secret in Tanzania that
pweza or octopus helps to restore sexual prowess among men.
It is no wonder that the meat and soup feature prominently on the menus of high end restaurants and open air eateries at just about every bus station in Dar.
Seated at one of many tables at the Mwenge bus station in downtown Dar recently enjoying a bowl of soup and octopus fillet (it tastes like cuttlefish), I sought to find out if the claims were valid.
One man said the soup was “everything to men.” His companion said
pweza had “restored his pride and saved his marriage.”
At Kebby’s restaurant in Magomeni ward, Sayyid Omary sells a bowl of octopus soup at Tsh1,300 ($0.814) but at the bus station a small piece of the meat costs between Tsh100 ($0.062) and Tsh200 ($0.124). One can also buy a chunk from the fish market near State House for between Tsh3,000 ($1.88) and Tsh10,000 ($6.26).
Octopus is a low calorie, lean seafood. It is a good source of iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and selenium. It also provides several important vitamins including Vitamin C, Vitamin A and several B vitamins, as well as omega-3 — an important nutrient that may decrease the chances of heart disease, cancer and depression. Omega 3 also boosts immunity and aids brain development in children.
Sex and fertility
According to Dr Musa Alfred, a clinician studying at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Science, regular consumption of octopus reduces the risk of cancers of the mouth, stomach, rectum, breast, colon, prostate, pancreas and lung.
He adds that the essential fatty acids are beneficial in preventing diseases like chronic bronchitis and Alzheimer’s disease. Studies show that octopuses have useful fat that lowers the risk of developing asthma.
Dr Alfred completes the jigsaw when he says the most common deficiency in impotent men is lack of Vitamin A. The
availability of the vital Vitamin A in octopus helps regulate the synthesis of the sex hormone progesterone.
