The Moringa tree, often called the “Miracle Tree,” or “Food Tree” or “Horseradish tree” is a fast-growing and drought-tolerant plant.
Hardy and low-maintenance with delicate green foliage and fragrant white flowers, Moringa makes an attractive addition to home gardens.
Historically in both Asia and Africa it has been added to many dishes and is prized for its nutritional value.
Important Notice: The Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) has advised that Moringa oleifera is classified as a novel food and that the available safety data is insufficient to confirm its safety as a food. As a result, it is not permitted to be sold in Australia as a food or food ingredient.
