What is Moringa?
Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree native to parts of India and Africa. Almost every part of the plant is edible or has medicinal value — leaves, seeds, pods, flowers, and even the roots.
It’s packed with nutrients, easy to grow, and can thrive in harsh climates, making it a sustainable solution for food security in many regions.
Nutritional Powerhouse
Moringa leaves are rich in:
Vitamin C (7x more than oranges)
Calcium (4x more than milk)
Potassium (3x more than bananas)
Protein (twice the amount in yogurt)
Iron (great for combating anemia)
Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties also help fight oxidative stress, support heart health, and improve immunity.

Some studies even suggest moringa has anti-cancer properties, though more research is needed.
