Moringa / Drumstick

Moringa is one of the new natural trend in all over the world. Because there are huge number of scientific evaluations and findings about Moringa as a high nutrition food for eat and drink. Moringa tea is popular drink now.

In Sri Lanka is calling ‘Murunga’ in Sinhala language. Moringa is highly healthful vegetable in our earth. Scientific name is ‘Moringa Oleifera’.

Healthy benefits of Moringa ;

• Include highly nutrition ; Carotene , Vitamin A, B6 & C , Protein , Iron , Magnesium
• Reduce implammation
• May lower blood sugar level
• Protect liver
• Support to brain
• Prevent cancer ; I have read an article about making tablet using Moringa seeds and doctors are testing at Kandy hospital and Ayurveda doctors use Moringa shell for cancer )
• Use for diabetes
• Good for Kidney stones
• Good for thyroid issues
• Infection to skin
• Stimulating immunity system

Bark of the Moringa tree, use for reduce warm of some foods like Manioc, cattle fish, prawns.

Sri Lanka has a specific curry recipe for mother after baby deliver. We call It ‘Kaayama’ or ‘Miris hodi’. Once mother bring baby to home mother or grand mother make this curry and give it with rice. We think it is a strong and healthy for body changes after deliver. Still this curry use in rural areas. This curry is use sometime stomach pain specially loose motion. If someone has loose motion automatically water level and energy going reduce. Then eat this curry with rice most of the time stomach pain and loose motion stop and body become refresh. Personally I really like this curry. :yum::yum::yum::yum::yum:

We have cultivated Moringa in our garden and we have good income​:blush::blush::blush:

@NiroshaJ Thanks for sharing this. It’s definitely one of my favorite vegetables, both the leaves and the pods. And moringa can easily be planted by planting a branch.
