But behind it all jengkol also saves many benefits for the health of the body, one of which is the intake of antioxidants, helps purify the blood, treat diabetes, thereby improving bone health and others.

Thank you for this very informative post, which you tagged with #diabetes. I had not come across jengkol, Archidendron pauciflorum previously. I enjoy learning new things, so this really took my interest.

I was wondering, is there any specific scientific evidence to support the claim that A. pauciflorum, can treat diabetes? There have been some great ethnobotanical and ethnomedicine studies done recently in some countries, to validate traditional and indigenous knowledge, using the scientific method, with such tools as taxonomy, microbiology, cytology, phytochemistry, etc. It would be great to see some verifiable results of such a study performed on A. pauciflorum, to validate the claim that it can treat diabetes.
