Very Nutritious

North India is the natural home of the sizable tree moringa oleifera. It goes by several names, including the ben oil tree, horseradish tree, and drumstick tree. Nearly every component of the tree is consumed or used to make traditional herbal treatments. This is particularly true of the leaves and pods, which are often consumed in several regions of India and Africa.

The dried leaves are offered as nutritional supplements in powder or pill form in Western nations. The pods often contain fewer vitamins and minerals than the leaves. They are particularly high in vitamin C, though. 100 grams of freshly cut, fresh pods provide 157 percent of your daily needs. People in underdeveloped countries occasionally don't get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals in their diets. Moringa oleifera can be a significant source of several crucial nutrients in these nations. There is one drawback, though: High amounts of antinutrients in moringa leaves may interfere with the body's ability to absorb protein and minerals.
