Moringa Oleifera is the scientific name of this kind of herbal medicine and with high nutrition. Malunggay is a plant that grows in the tropical climates such as the Philippines. Malunggay is widely used as vegetable ingredient in cooking, as herbal medicine for a number of illness and other practical uses.

Here is my tips, malunggay leaves may be eaten as greens, in salads and as vegetable ingredients for soups and other tropical viands. Malunggay flowers are cooked and eaten either mixed with other foods or fried in batter with eggs. Boiled malunggay leaves contain immune boosting nutrients used in sickness recovery.

Malunggay plant can grow to as high as 9 meters with erect white trunks. The compound leaf has about 3 to 9 leaflets. Malunggay has white fragrant flowers that produces long pods with 3-angled winged seeds.

Malunggay may be propagated by planting its seeds about an inch in the ground or matured malunggay stem cuttings of about 3 feet in length may also be planted into the ground. Planted malunggay cuttings grows faster compared to planted seeds.

Here is my research, malunggay pods are the most valued and widely used part of the plant. Malunggay pods contains essential amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients. Malunggay pods may be eaten raw or may be prepared or cooked. Malunggay pods may be fried and may produce a clear, odorless and sweet oil mostly called - Ben Oil.

Moringa is considered a super-food because it is so high in nutrients.....:) In 3 years mine has never produced seed pods....just flowers...:(

Why? Hehehe... may be the soil is not loam or there is a lot of rocks in your soil? Even in sand it will leave.... 😇😊😇
