Moringa, scientifically known as Moringa oleifera, is a fast-growing, deciduous tree native to parts of Africa and Asia. It belongs to the Moringaceae family. The tree is characterized by its compound leaves, which consist of multiple small leaflets. Moringa is often referred to as the “drumstick tree” due to the long, slender pods it produces.
The plant is valued for its nutritional content, as it is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Moringa leaves, seeds, and pods are commonly used for various culinary and medicinal purposes. The leaves, in particular, are known for their high concentration of nutrients, including vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium, and protein.
In addition to its nutritional profile, moringa has been studied for potential medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. Different parts of the moringa tree, including leaves, seeds, and roots, have been traditionally used in herbal medicine.
Moringa has gained popularity as a “superfood” due to its nutritional richness and potential health benefits. It is cultivated in various regions around the world for both local consumption and commercial purposes.
