When T. Sim does his regular brisk walks around Zaaba Park in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, his eyes will be scanning the ground for something others may not even take a second look at – stinking toe fruits.

Produced by West Indian Locust trees, the fruits are actually brown seed pods shaped like a toe. When the outer shell is cracked open, there is a foul smell emitted, much like stinky feet, hence its name.
