The Amazing Story of Moringa

The Amazing Story of Moringa

You may have never heard of moringa, but you’ve almost certainly heard of drumstick. In reality, it’s the same thing. What is popularly called the drumstick tree is Moringa Oleifera by its scientific name. In terms of its benefits to humans though, it’s an amazing plant!

Moringa Oleifera is quite a hardy plant. It prefers sun-drenched, tropical climates, but can grow just as easily in semi-arid conditions. As it can tolerate a variety of soil types and conditions, it can flourish in the wild too. In fact, in India it truly flourishes… both under cultivation and out in the wild. Some people also grow it at home – in their gardens.

The reason for its commercial cultivation is because it is a source of food, can be used as a water purifier, and is treasured for its medicinal properties as well. Surely, you’ve heard of drumstick curries and soups. It is even made into dals or sambhar.

Outstanding Utility
The beauty of Moringa Oleifera is that almost every part of the tree is useful. The fruit, or drumstick, as mentioned, is used for food; the seeds can also be extracted for nutritional and culinary purposes. But more than that, they can be extracted for their oil, and whatever remains is used as a fertilizer and even to purify water. There is also talk about the seeds becoming useful biofuel.

Even the roots can be used to flavour food. In some cuisines, the flowers are a delicacy as well. The leaves are amazing as they can be consumed raw or cooked – generally used to make dishes, salads or soups. Best of all, the leaves can be dried and powdered for later use – especially as a food or baking condiment that provides excellent nutritional value.

Multiple Health Benefits
As a powder, this nutrient-rich superfood offers a wide range of health benefits. It is loaded with anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals and nine essential amino acids. It improves digestion, reduces inflammation, slows the ageing process, and helps control weight. It is also believed to have properties that protect and nourish hair and skin, is good for the liver, may act against pathogens in food, and may help treat mood and nervous system disorders. Some studies think it may be good for diabetes, asthma, heart and kidney health, even improve eye health.

It may be a good idea to build towards a routine of consuming moringa powder twice a day, with meals. Start with quarter or half teaspoon for a week, then increase to half or one teaspoon. It’s very easy to use. Moringa powder is a superfood, so can be mixed with flour, dal, fruit or vegetable salads, even smoothies. You can consume it in curd, yoghurt, kefir or milk – or just mix in water and drink as a dose. It’s always better to consume with or immediately after food – avoid empty stomach.
