Ziryab was known to be the inventor of deodorant.

"He (Ziryab) taught the people of Andalus  to extract the murtaq from the murdasanj or litharge, to take away the fetid smell of the armpits, and for the other purposes for which that substance is employed." Al Maqqari

Ziryab introduced the eating of asparagus into eureurasia

 "He (Ziryab) was the first who gathered and ate the vegetable called Hilyaun, and the people of Andalus called it Asfaraj (Asparagus), which was unknown to the inhabitants of that country before his arrival." Al Maqqari

"The Maluf which is still in fashion in the Maghreb today and Spanish flamenco are remotely descended from the revolution brought about in music by Ziryab"
