Amazing Moringa: Medicinal, Edible and Easy to Grow
The Moringa Tree, also known as the Drumstick tree, is nearly entirely edible. It has many medicinal applications, can grow with little water, has multiple times the amount of nutrients as oranges, carrots, spinach and bananas, and grows extremely well in regions where of malnutrition. And now, this prolific powerhouse has anchored itself in American soil. Could this tree solve the world's food crisis?

Yes Cheryl I stared at the map for quite some time wondering why the food or cure and disease are in the exact same areas. Of all the things in the article that knocked my socks off.
Isn't it amazing that the growing areas correlate with the malnourished areas? It's said when diseases break out a cure is usually in the area. While malnutrition, per se, isn't a disease, it certainly sets people of for diseases.
Paul, do folks in the Philippines use the tree for food, or in other ways? I'm in an area where there are a lot of white pine trees. The needles are good for making a tea rich in Vitamin C, the flesh under the bark can be eaten, and using boughs of pine needles to sleep on keeps bugs away.
Paul do they just grow wild there.
I agree Cheryl I just added a source for seeds powder and oil. Living in a time when nutrition seems to be mostly available by supplements and along comes a tree.
we call this malungay in tagalog.
What an amazing tree!
