Moringa (Moringa oleifera)

Moringa oleifera, often called the 'Miracle Tree' or 'Tree of Life', is arguably the most nutritionally rich tree on the planet. Its leaves, pods, seeds, and roots are all used extensively for food, medicine, and water purification. The highly nutritious leaves — rich in vitamins A, C, B6, iron, calcium, and protein — can be consumed fresh, dried, or powdered. It is a remarkably fast-growing tree, capable of reaching several metres in its first year. It thrives in hot, dry conditions with minimal water. An invaluable tree for food security, nutrition, and sustainable agroforestry systems across Kenya.
