MORINGA- THE MIRACLE LEAF ( A Revelation in Natural Supplements)

Moringa Leaf

Imagine a fresh leaf that contains seven times as much vitamins C as oranges. When the leaf is dry, it contains half the quantity of vitamins in oranges. Imagine also that when fresh, the leaf also contains four times the vitamins A of carrots while the dry one contains 10 times as much of the vitamins in carrots.

Again, the leaf when fresh contains four times the calcium contained in  milk and when dry, contains 17 times as much calcium as milk. In terms of potassium, the same leaf contains three times the quantity of the mineral as banana. When the leaf is dry, the potassium level is 15 times what the banana has. The leaf contains three quarters of the iron in spinach but when it is dry, the iron content is 25 times of what spinach has. If you are looking for protein, the quantity contained in the fresh leaf is two times what you get from yoghurt, but when the leaf is dry , it contains as much protein as yoghurt.

Moringa Leaf

Moringa leaf

Such a leaf must be miraculous, according to experts. Yes, the plant that bears the leaf has actually earned the nickname miracle tree. Its botanical name is Moringa oleifera. Moringa is mostly common in African, Nigeria, where is it mostly grows naturally and has different names in different ethnic groups. In hausa ,moringa is called zogale; it is called gawara in Fulani; okwe oyibo in Igbo and ewe ile in Yoruba.

Moringa is a small shrub or tree that can reach 12 metres in height in maturity and can live for up to 20 years. A short but intense life, a life in the fast lane. Moringa is perhaps the fastest growing of all trees as it can reach three metres in just 10 months after the seed is planted. It has deep roots, and therefore it can survive in dry regions, and a wide-open crown with a single stem. Moringa is a healer, food magician, beauty and beautician, a plant with surprising water purification capabilities, a best friend and humanitarian who works for so little. It is one of the most useful tress on earth. Moringa makes a major contribution to human and animal health, in many cases, it can mean the difference between life and death, absolutely no negative effects to daily consumption of moringa leaves have been reported. It is believed that the leaf has a stabilising effect on blood pressure and glucose levels as they are also used to treat anxiety, diarrhoea and inflammation of the colon, skin infections, scurvy, intestinal parasites and many other conditions.”  If the entire value chain for moringa is developed, it can create over one million jobs and generate over 500bn in revenue for Nigeria. people can make a lot of money and  earn a living by cultivating the plant and selling the different parts such as the roots, trunk , seeds, leaves, flowers to           processors. This can also be a sure way of poverty alleviation and wealth creation. Because of the enormous potential of moringa,  out-growers are encouraged to go into small scale plantation of this crop as income generating process for small- scale business in the rural communities.

Over the past decade, report findings on the plant have been featured in many scientific journals recognising the multi-faceted economic uses of moringa as a potent and viable resource for combating hunger, malnutrition, poverty and disease.

The plant has become even more relevant, considering the potential in job/wealth creation and also in achieving the millennium development goals. For this reason, many refer to it as a millennium plant.

OMG! this is going to ruin my breakfast cereal.

It is also pertinent to note that Moringa grows and thrives well in parts of the world identified with poverty, underdevelopment and malnutrition .

Moringa oil could also be extracted as edible oil and for bio- diesel, especially during this time of renewable energy and sustainability.

Moringa Oil

 The miracle tree presents several business opportunities for discerning investors in agriculture and the agro- allied industry. For any person that invest in growing the plant, different parts present business opportunities as they can be harvested and marketed.

 Apart from growing the tree, processing also offers another avenue for anyone that is interested in exploiting the economic potential of moringa oleifera.

Other products that can be  processed from the plant include seasoning powder, tea drink, food supplements and medicinal products.

I hope this Miracle leaf would also cure my Anger, Paranoia and Mind wandering.
