Mahogany seeds are not widely recognized in traditional or modern medicine as a cure for sickness. While some parts of the mahogany tree have been studied for potential medicinal properties, there is limited scientific evidence to support the efficacy of mahogany seeds in treating health conditions. It's important to consult healthcare professionals for appropriate treatments and remedies for illnesses. Always exercise caution with herbal or natural remedies.

It is not recommended to consume mahogany seeds as they are toxic, containing alkaloids that can be harmful if ingested. It's best to avoid consuming them altogether.
Mahogany is not actually a monocot; it belongs to the dicot group of flowering plants. Monocots typically have one seed leaf (cotyledon), parallel leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of three, while dicots, like mahogany, have two seed leaves, branched leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of four or five. Mahogany trees are known for their hardwood and are classified under the family Meliaceae, which is characteristic of dicots.

Mahogany seeds are generally not considered edible and can be toxic if consumed. They contain compounds that may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or other adverse effects. It's best to avoid eating mahogany seeds and stick to known edible seeds for safety.
To open a mahogany seed, you can start by soaking the seeds in water for 24 hours to soften their hard outer shell. After soaking, use a file or sandpaper to gently scuff the surface of the seed coat, which helps promote germination. Finally, plant the seeds in a well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until they sprout.
All mahogany trees were seeds at one time. They are tropical trees and can not tolerate freezing conditions. They do not live in deserts. So if you have the right climate, you can produce your tree.
