The moringa tree, Moringa oleifera, has probably
been the most popular plant in ECHO's seed bank
of underutilized tropical crops. The tree is native to
India but has been planted around the world and is
naturalized in many locales. Moringa goes by
many names. In the Philippines, where the leaves
of the moringa are cooked and fed to babies, it is
called "mother's best friend" and "malunggay."
Other names for it include the benzolive tree
(Haiti), horseradish tree (Florida), Nébéday
(Senegal) and drumstick tree (India).
