What is the moringa plant?
The Moringa plant, scientifically named "Moringa oleifera", is native to the subtropical regions of India, Pakistan and Nepal. It is often nicknamed the "miracle tree" or "tree of life" because of its many nutritional and medicinal properties.
Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing tree that can reach heights of 10 to 12 metres. Almost every part of the tree can be used: the leaves, pods, seeds, bark, roots and flowers. Not only are they eaten as nutritious food, they are also used in traditional medicine in many cultures around the world.
Moringa leaves are particularly nutritious, rich in protein, vitamins A, B and C, and minerals such as iron and calcium. The oil extracted from its seeds is appreciated for its culinary and cosmetic uses.
With its unique combination of antioxidants, amino acids and essential nutrients, Moringa is often promoted as a superfood, providing a multitude of health benefits.
