Moringa oleifera is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Moringa, which is the only genus in the family Moringaceae.Moringa oleifera is a fast growing, evergreen, deciduous tree. It can reach a height of 10–12 m and the trunk can reach a diameter of 45 cm.
The moringa tree is grown mainly in semiarid, tropical, and subtropical areas. It grows best in dry sandy soil and tolerates poor soil, including coastal areas.
Moringa is a plant that is native to the sub-Himalayan areas of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. It is also grown in the tropics. The leaves, bark, flowers, fruit, seeds, and root are used to make medicine.
Moringa is an important food source in some parts of the world. Because it can be grown cheaply and easily, and the leaves retain lots of vitamins and minerals when dried, moringa is used in India and Africa in feeding programs to fight malnutrition. The immature green pods are prepared similarly to green beans, while the seeds are removed from more mature pods and cooked like peas or roasted like nuts
Moringa seeds are large and circular-shaped, and grow inside the pods of the Moringa Oleifera tree. The pods can reach over a foot in length and contain over a dozen seeds. These seeds have their own wings so the wind can carry them to fertile ground far away from the parent plant.
Fresh Moringa seeds are usually soft, and as they dry out, they harden until they resemble a dried bean or pea.Moringa oil is extracted from seed part of Moringa oleifera tree. The seeds which are harvested from pods yield around 35–40% of non-drying Moringa oil which is also called Ben oil or Behen oil. The oil is extracted using Cold Pressing method with the oil extracted being clear and odorless.
The oil is extensively used in health and beauty applications as well as in the production of expensive and natural perfumes and fragrances. With an impressive oleic acid content of 72%, Moringa oil penetrates deeply into the skin, delivering vital nutrients and also helping the skin and hair retain moisture. Moringa oil’s benefits include skin care and rejuvenation, stronger and healthier hair, wrinkle reduction and skin blemish removal.
The seed cake remaining after oil extraction is used as a fertilizer and also to purify well water and to remove salt from seawater.
