What is Moringa ?
Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a tree native to South Asia, particularly the Himalayan region, and is often referred to as the “miracle tree.” Throughout history, moringa has been used in regions including ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Different parts of the tree, including its leaves, seeds, and bark, have been valued for both food and traditional herbal uses. Moringa was even used to produce oil in ancient Egypt. Today, its nutrient-dense leaves are especially valued for naturally containing vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A and calcium.
