Moringa, scientifically known as Moringa oleifera, is a highly nutritious and versatile plant that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and as a food source in various cultures. Moringa is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree native to the sub-Himalayan regions of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It is sometimes referred to as the "drumstick tree" due to the long, slender pods it produces.

Moringa leaves are a rich source of essential nutrients, including vitamins (such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and various B vitamins), minerals (such as iron, potassium, and calcium), and protein. It's often considered a superfood due to its exceptional nutritional profile. Moringa is packed with antioxidants, including quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and beta-carotene. These compounds help combat oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
