Moringa Seed 100g

Moringa seeds come from the Moringa oleifera tree, also called the "drumstick tree," and are highly nutritious, rich in protein, vitamins, and antioxidants, with the mature seeds yielding a healthy cooking oil (Ben oil) that resists rancidity. Eaten roasted, boiled, or raw (after removing the bitter outer shell), they offer amino acids and beneficial fatty acids, but pregnant individuals should avoid them, and moderation is key. Beyond nutrition, moringa seeds are also used for water purification and potential biodiesel, making the whole plant a valuable resource.

How They're Used
