ECO-Moringa


At Eco, the plant that caught my attention the most was the Moringa plant. It interested me because of it's incredible quantity of nutrients, minerals, and because it is Eco's most popular plant.

The most widely known species is the Moringa oleifera, which is a multi purpose tree. It is native to the foothills of the Himalays, India.

Moringa is a very popular plant, currently it is used to combat poverty and malnutrition. It grows quickly in many types of environments, and much of the plant is edible.

The leaves are rich in proteins, vitamins A, B, and C, and it is very rich in minerals.
