Moringa is a multipurpose tree cultivated throughout the tropics and marketed as a dietary supplement, health food, or source for herbalism practices. The fruit pods of Moringa oleifera (“drumsticks”) are consumed as food in many parts of the world, particularly in South Asia. The leaves are commonly used to make tea.

Moringa can be grown cheaply and easily and retains much of its nutritional value when dried. Moringa is one of the most nutrient-dense plants in the world. Its leaves, seeds, pods, flowers, and roots offer a wide range of health, nutritional, and industrial benefits. Moringa is a superfood rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants.
