Moringa Contains All the Essential Amino Acids Your Body Needs!
Moringa — A Powerful Multipurpose Plant
Moringa may be one of the most important yet vastly underutilized plants available. Virtually every part of it is edible and has medicinal qualities, and most parts can be consumed either raw or cooked. Globally, the leaves, roots, pods, and flowers are most typically consumed.
You can also harvest the plant as a microgreen. As noted in the mini-review “Health Benefits of Moringa Oleifera,” published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention (APJCP) in 2014:
“Moringa oleifera is a multi-purpose herbal plant used as human food and an alternative for medicinal purposes worldwide. It has been identied byresearchers as a plant with numerous health benefits including nutritional and medicinal advantages. Moringa oleifera contains essential amino acids, carotenoids in leaves, and components with nutraceutical properties ... An important factor that accounts for the medicinal uses of Moringa oleifera is its very wide range of vital antioxidants, antibiotics and nutrients including vitamins and minerals. Almost all parts from Moringa can be used as a source for nutrition with other useful values.”
Health Benefits of Moringa
According to a 2011 paper on the nutritional composition of Moringa leaves, “The values of amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, and vitamin profiles reflect a desirable nutritional balance.” A 2007 paper in Phytotherapy Research also describes Moringa’s benefits, noting that:
“... [T]he leaves, roots, seed, bark, fruit, owers and immature pods act as cardiac and circulatory stimulants, possesses antitumor, antipyretic, antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antispasmodic, diuretic, antihypertensive, cholesterol-lowering, antioxidant, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antibacterial and antifungal activities, and are being employed for the treatment of different ailments in the indigenous system of medicine ...”
Moringa Is an Inexpensive Way to Optimize Your Nutrition
Moringa offers many of the same medicinal benefits as broccoli. Both also contain all the essential amino acids. Moringa, however, is far more economical to grow. It’s extremely hardy and drought resistant, making it an attractive alternative — particularly in underserved populations worldwide where health care and Western medicines are hard to come by.
The fact that you can eat more or less the whole tree in a variety of different ways also makes it an attractive option. The long seed pods, colloquially known as Moringa drumsticks, are a common staple in Indian cuisine.
You can also harvest these seeds, sow them, and harvest them like microgreens, i.e., while they’re small like sprouts.

https://www.FusionFarms.ag Fusion Farms PR is an Indoor Farm in Mayagüez, . We have our own grove of 130 trees from which we harvest the leaves and incorporate them as the protein source for our own fish food that we feed to our which are the nutrient engine for our beyond-organic food!
We use nutrient-rich aquaponics water to fertilize our Moringa trees and we have bees that pollinate the trees and make honey from the flowers.
We have started growing Moringa on an 80-acre parcel where we will eventually be growing 6,500 Moringa Trees to create a commercial-scale business around all the various products which come from this amazing plant!
