Beskrivelse
Originally from certain parts of Asia and Africa, the fast-growing, drought-resistant tree known as moringa (or Moringa oleifera) is now a popular crop in many tropical and subtropical climates across the globe. Some call it the "miracle tree" because of all the good it does for your health and the shape of its seed pods, while others call it the "drumstick tree" because of how it looks.
Traditional medicine and cuisine have long made use of the moringa tree's nearly edible portions. High concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are found in the leaves, making them exceptionally nutrition rich. In addition to being a popular addition to soups, salads, and brewed tea, they can also be eaten either fresh or dried. The possible health advantages of moringa leaves include enhancing digestion, lowering inflammation, and strengthening the immune system.
Moringa is used not only for its leaves but also for other components of the tree. Pressing the seeds yields oil that has multiple uses, including in the kitchen, cosmetics, and even medicine. When young and sensitive, the seed pods are consumed as a vegetable, and the roots are occasionally used to make a condiment that tastes like horseradish.
Moringa is being studied for its therapeutic qualities and has become famous as a superfood because of its nutrient density and possible health advantages. Additionally, its potential to fight malnutrition in low-income areas and its capacity to survive in extreme conditions make it a desirable crop.
