When we think of starvation and malnutrition around the world we typically think of Africa and India. There are many other countries is which this problem exists. These countries lie in areas where the climate is warm enough to grow Moringa Oleifera. It is puzzling then why malnutrition and starvation still exist. It is because of ignorance and lack of awareness. People are typically unaware that the solution to their problem is growing right in their back yards, so to speak. The more awareness that can be raised, the more Moringa can be used as a solution. There are a number of good organizations taking to task educating people, in these countries, on this miracle tree. If people have nothing else to eat, this tree can keep them alive!

People all over the world need to know about this amazing plant. For example, in North America, people are also malnourished. Not from having too little to eat, but from lack of nutrients in the food supply. This is one of the main reasons for the epidemic of obesity. Poor farming practices, GMO foods, and more are to blame for North America’s malnutrition problem. It is notable that Moringa can be prepared and shipped around the world without losing its efficacy, since it maintains its nutritional value through the drying process.

Think about it, have you ever heard of an edible tree? Many parts of the Moringa tree can be used, from the leaves to the fruit pods. The oil that is pressed out of the seeds can be used for cooking or medicinal uses as well. The left over seed cake from pressing the seeds is able to filter the dirtiest water into pure drinking water. It is no wonder why the Moringa tree has been quoted as a “very giving tree”.
