Moringa
(Moringa oleifera)
Moringa oil, known as “miraculous”, is extracted from the small round seeds contained in the plant’s dark pods. This tropical tree has the astonishing ability to purify fresh water from rivers and lakes, making it of significant interest in countries where drinking water remains hard to access.
Nutritionally, its fruits and especially its leaves are a superfood, being extremely rich in minerals, vitamins A, C, E, proteins and antioxidants. They are used in programmes to combat malnutrition.
