Moringa Quotes

“Although few people have ever heard of it today, Moringa could

soon become one of the world’s most valuable plants, at least in

humanitarian terms.”

like beta-carotene [vitamin A], vitamin C, folic acid, and also calcium and potassium. 

Moringa leaves in particular are a rich, inexpensive source of micronutrients."

 - Dr. C. Gopalan, President, Nutrition Foundation of India

"Among the wide range of Green Leafy Vegetables, 

Moringa is the richest source of Beta-Carotene [vitamin A], 

apart from providing other important micronutrients. 

Small amounts of less than 10 gm of fresh Moringa 

leaves would meet the day's requirement of Beta-Carotene of preschool children."

- Dr. Kamala Krishnaswamy, Director, National Institute of Nutrition, India

 "Scientifically speaking, Moringa sounds like magic.

 It can rebuild weak bones, enrich anemic blood and

"…among the leafy vegetables, one stands out as

particularly good, the horseradish tree

(Moringa). The leaves are outstanding as a

source of vitamin A…” [Survival and Subsistence in the

Tropics by Frank Martin]

 If scientists set out to design a tree that would

be of maximum benefit to mankind, they would

be hard put to do better than the Moringa

Oleifera tree. (Fuglie, 2001)

"As a source of nutrients and vitamins, Moringa leaves rank among the best of perennial tropical vegetables. 

It has been estimated that one glassful of fresh Moringa leaves contain the daily requirement of vitamin A for up to ten people, and adding two raw Moringa leaves to children's daily food intake, or mixing 2-3 teaspoons of dried Moringa leaf powder into other sauces living in high-risk areas."
