“Malunggay; Moringa Oleifera; Sajina”

“poor man’s vegetable but a miracle tree”

Malunggay in Tagalog, Moringa Oleifera in its scientific name, also called Sajina in India. This "Moringa" tree is grown mainly in semi-arid, tropical, and subtropical areas. While it grows best in dry sandy soil, it tolerates poor soil, including coastal areas. It is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree that is native to the southern foothills of the Himalayas in northwestern India and is widely cultivated in Africa, Central & South America, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia & Philippines because of its full potential and very useful trees. It is now consumed and used not only as food, but also an ingredient for cosmetics, personal care products, antibiotics, bio-fuel and a lot more. 

A traditional food plant in Africa, India and Philippines, this little-known vegetable has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development, and support sustainable land care. 

Moringa trees have been used to combat malnutrition, especially among infants and nursing mothers. Three non-governmental organizations in particular — Trees for Life, Church World Service, and Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization — have advocated Moringa as "natural nutrition for the tropics." Leaves can be eaten fresh, cooked, or stored as dried powder for many months without refrigeration, and reportedly without loss of nutritional value. Moringa is especially promising as a food source in the tropics because the tree is in full leaf at the end of the dry season when other foods are typically scarce.

A large number of reports on the nutritional qualities of Malunggay now exist in both the scientific and the popular literature.
