Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a miracle tree that grows wild in tropical and sub-tropical areas and is native to Africa, Arabia, India, the Caribbean, and Pacific Islands. It is cultivated in Africa, India, Sri-Lanka, Mexico, the Philippines, South America, Malaysia, Jamaica, Thailand, the so-called Middle East and a few other countries. However, India is the world's leading producer of Moringa.
In Africa, Moringa is known as Windibundu (in Dendi), Yovo Kpati (in Mina), Ewe ile (in Yoruba), Argentiga and Alsam Tiga (Mossi), Zogolagandi (in Hausa), Alim and Halim Anambo (in Shuwa Arabic), Amharigna and Shal Chada (Ethiopia); Babatsi (in Ewe), Mkimbo, Mlonge, and Shingo (in Swahili), Gawara (in Fulani), Odudu Oyibo (in Ibo), and Zagalanda (in Tonga) to name a few languages and countries.
Moringa is the "gift from God" tree, and also known as mother's best friend and miracle tree of hope. It is drought resistant and can grow in nearly any soil. However, Moringa is a sun and heat loving plant. It does not tolerate coldness and frost.
Along with Spirulina and hemp seed, it is a food that can help to end world starvation and malnutrition, especially in Africa.....
