Moringa oleifera

Moringa (also known as the “tree of life,” “drumstick tree,” or “malunggay”) is a plant native to northern India that has long been used for both food and traditional medicine.

What is moringa used for?

Moringa oleifera is the most common species, though the term moringa can refer to other related plants. Nearly every part of the tree—leaves, pods, seeds, flowers, and roots—can be eaten or used for different purposes.

Common uses include:

As food: the leaves are cooked like spinach, and the pods (“drumsticks”) are used in stews. Dried leaves are ground into powder to enrich meals.

As a nutritional supplement: widely used in areas affected by malnutrition.

For traditional medicine: to support digestion, liver health, and reduce inflammation.

For water purification: crushed seeds can act as natural coagulants in water treatment.

Nutritional profile

Moringa is rich in essential nutrients:

Vitamins: high in A, C, E, and several B vitamins.

Minerals: calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium.

Protein: contains all nine essential amino acids.

Antioxidants: such as quercetin and chlorogenic acid.

Per 100 g of fresh leaves, moringa can have:

7× more vitamin C than oranges,

10× more vitamin A than carrots,

17× more calcium than milk,

15× more potassium than bananas,

and 25× more iron than spinach.

Because of this, moringa is often called a superfood, though it should be seen as a supplement to a balanced diet—not a replacement.

Main functions and health benefits

Scientific studies (some in humans, many in animals) suggest these potential benefits:

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory: helps reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

Supports the immune system: due to its rich vitamin C, A, and iron content.

Aids digestion: the fiber content promotes gut health.

Heart and circulation health: may help regulate cholesterol and blood pressure.

Fights malnutrition: used in humanitarian nutrition programs.

Skin and hair health: moringa oil is used in cosmetics for hydration and protection.

Blood sugar regulation: early studies show it may help balance glucose leves

How to consume it

Fresh leaves: cooked like greens or blended in soups.

Dried leaf powder: added to smoothies, soups, or juices.

Pods: cooked in curries and stews.

Seeds: eaten roasted or pressed for oil.

Always buy from trusted sources to ensure cleanliness and quality.

Precautions

Limited scientific evidence: many health claims still require more research in humans.

Avoid certain parts: the root and bark may contain harmful compounds.

Possible drug interactions: can affect diabetes or blood pressure medications.

Overuse risk: excessive consumption can cau

se stomach issues or toxicity.
