Moringa – A Superfood

Moringa is a long-known botanical superhero: the so-called miracle tree Moringa oleifera is also known as horseradish tree or drumstick tree and was already widely used in ancient times for its nutritious and healthy properties.

About Moringa

The plant Moringa oleifera LAM. originally comes from the Himalayan region in northwestern India and is also sourced from West African countries, Southeast Asia and some Arab countries. The plant thrives even under difficult environmental conditions. Moringa grows best in a subtropical or tropical climate on sandy, poor soils. In an average year, a moringa tree can grow 3-4 meters. The leaves can be harvested from established moringa trees up to nine times a year. The leaves must be dried and ground into a powder before moringa can be used. The smell and taste of these plants is typically tart and spicy, such as turnip cabbage or radish.
