Moringa is a fast-growing tree native to parts of Africa and Asia. Known scientifically as Moringa oleifera, it is often referred to as the "drumstick tree" due to its long, slender seed pods. The leaves, seeds, and pods of the tree are edible and are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a popular choice in traditional medicine and nutrition. Moringa is cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world. It thrives in poor soil and is drought-resistant, making it an important resource for communities facing food insecurity. Its various parts are used in cooking, herbal remedies, and even as animal feed.
