Moringa
Moringa, also known as “drumstick tree,” is a fast-growing tree that is native to the Himalayan mountains in Northwestern India and now is also widely cultivated in tropics. The moringa tree grows best in dry soil and is draught tolerant. Due to its superior cultivating quality and nutrient-rich edible parts, moringa is researched and actively cultivated by several NGOs for the purpose of reducing poverty and malnutrition in developing countries.
Moringa has been used in folk medicine, including Siddha medicine and Ayurvedic traditional medicines. Moringa leaf is rich in dietary fibre, antioxidant (total phenol, total flavonoid), vitamins (such as B-carotene, vitamin C), and minerals (such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc). Moringa leaf also shows a high antioxidant capacity, with as high as 87% DHHP scavenging activity. A wide variety of polyphenols and phenolic acids as well as flavonoids is believed to be responsible for these pharmacological properties.

- 2x the amount of protein of yogurt
