Moringa
Moringa, often referred to as the "drumstick tree" or "miracle tree," is gaining popularity in India and globally for its nutritional benefits and versatility. India's export of moringa products has been growing due to increasing international demand for health supplements, herbal products, and organic foods.
The leaves are small, oval, and highly nutritious. They are typically green and can be used fresh, dried, or powdered. The tree produces long, slender seed pods that are often compared to drumsticks in shape, hence the nickname. These pods are also edible and are sometimes used in cooking.
Moringa trees produce white or creamy flowers that have a pleasant fragrance and are also edible. The seeds are round and have a distinctive winged appearance. They can be eaten or used to grow new trees.
