One of the most holistic trees,
Beneficial and nutritious
Is Moringa Oleifera -
A genus of shrubs and trees.
All parts of the tree are useful.
The bark, nuts, seeds, pods,
Roots, flowers, fruits,
And the bottle green leaves.
The tiny oval shaped green leaves clamour
Clamour around each branch, branchlet,
Closely and thickly knit together.
They are edible leaves and are widely used
In making various dishes of curries and veggies.
The leaves are special leaves untouched by liquid.
Moringa leaves are dried and powdered
And used as a rich condiment and a source
Of iron and Vitamins.
Moringa is native to South Asia, Ethiopia,
African countries, Sudan, Philippines,
And widely grown in India.
Drumstick is a popular fruit or pod
A tasty vegetable added in ‘Sambar' - Indian curry.
This widely growing tropical tree
Is economically most valuable besides
Being nourishing, re-vitalizing and rejuvenating.
A very informative poem, my friend. Thank you for sharing.
So true. It is one of the powerful foods. We always eat malunggay (Philippines) every single day. We have some trees around our house in the Philippines. They are very expensive when you buy them abroad.
Morning leaf powder contains all nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce by itself!

I would like to translate this poem
I bought moringa leaf powder a while ago because I liked the picture on the bag. I liked the slightly bitter taste when mixed in hot water. Now that you recommend it, I'll keep drinking it.
