Organic Moringa – "Miracle Tree" for Sensitive Skin

The moringa tree (also called "horseradish tree" or "miracle tree") belongs to the family of ben oil trees. At first glance, the moringa tree appears quite inconspicuous. The small, oval-shaped leaves give no indication that this tree is one of the most nutrient-rich plants worldwide. Its origin lies in the northwestern Indian Himalayan region – but global demand has led to it being cultivated today in many countries with tropical or subtropical climates.

No wonder the moringa tree is also called the "horseradish tree." The taste of its leaves and roots, thanks to their spiciness, is reminiscent of our local radish. The spicy fruits can be up to 50 cm long and resemble drumsticks, which is why the plant is internationally known as the "drum stick tree." With their spiciness, the root and leaves give a special touch to especially Asian dishes. In its Indian homeland, moringa fruits are considered a healthy snack. 

Nowadays, there are also numerous natural moringa products available here. Particularly practical is the bright green moringa powder, which is made from dried leaves. It can be easily and quickly stirred into smoothies, mueslis, or savory soups. A tea made from dried moringa leaves is also quick to prepare.

Above all, the fruits, leaves, and roots contain many valuable nutrients considered beneficial to health, such as important minerals, vitamins, and proteins, as well as secondary plant compounds, enzymes, and oils. According to Indian Ayurveda medicine, the leaves, roots, and seeds are said to make an important contribution to health. This also explains why it is revered as the "Tree of Life" in its homeland. Moringa leaves and the powder derived from them contain over 40 different antioxidants that can combat free radicals in the body.
