Moringa oleifera is the best known of 14 species of Moringa tree (family Moringaceae). It is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree native to sub-Himalayan tracts of northern India, and is now growing worldwide in the tropics and subtropics. Its leaves and pods have great nutritional value, and yield many vitamins and minerals.
Shown here is Willard Van De Bogart under a Moringa Tree on the Fakchar Moringa Tree Plantation in Ban Photphisai, Thailand. The soil can be irrigated in the hot season from canals fed by the Ping River. The leaves are picked and dried immediately for making the powder, and then shipped directly to our customers from Thailand.
The plantation has ample sunlight everyday, and is next to several larger rice fields and chilli pepper fields. The land is always tended to, and each Moringa Tree is carefully pruned to assure the maximum yield for the leaves.
The leaves and the young green pods can be eaten like other vegetables. The leaves can be prepared similarly to spinach and are low in fats and carbohydrates, but contain a very high content of protein; calcium; minerals; iron; and vitamins A, B, and when raw, vitamin C. Also a source of nutrients and vitamins.
The tree has many names. In English, it is known as the Ben Oil Tree; in Swahili as Mzunze or Mlonge; Malunggay in the Philippines; Marum in Thailand; Benzolive in Haiti; Horseradish or Drumstick tree in India; Yoruba in Nigeria; and in Senegal, it is known as Nebeday, which is thought to mean "Never Die," because the tree is extraordinarily hearty.
