(ANSA) - MILAN, OCTOBER 21 - Coldiretti farmers' association is hosting a display of its top picks for foods with aphrodisiac properties at its Expo pavilion, explaining how folk tradition has passed down its wisdom on these all-natural erotic kick-starters.

According to the exhibit, almonds and pistachios are indispensable: just 30 grams a day are said to boost male fertility and female desire.

Other unexpected vegetable aphrodisiacs include chicory, a source of the male hormone androstenedione; bell peppers, especially if just picked; red onions, with their high nitrous oxide content; and garlic, among the best-known natural aphrodisiacs in the world, Coldiretti said.

Rounding out the exhibit's natural stimulants were eels, chili peppers, Calabrian 'Nduja salami, and saffron.
