I have been looking into the non-toxic veriaty for a
while! There is some info out there but I haven't been able
to locate a source. Non toxic jatropha has been reported from the
Yucatan and Veracruse areas of Mexico. It is reported
that the locals roast the nuts before eating them. My wife
just got back from the Yucatan; I sent with here some Jatropha
nuts I got from India and a drawing of the seed clusters.
The research I had found said that the local name was(
Pinocello), a spanish name. As it turns out,
the locals who actually know about this plant speak Myan------and are
not familiar with the Spanish name.
I
live in so. Calif. and there are a lot of folks up here from
these parts of mexico. I am working on getting some seeds sent up
here.
