AA tropical tree, “tree of heaven” or “eternal tree”, from the Moringaceae family, moringa is native to north-eastern India, but also grows in Africa, Madagascar, Asia and South America. It can be found in very arid areas like the Sahara but it also likes humid semi-tropical climates. Its very deep root allows it to go without water for several months. Its Senegalese name “Nébédaye” would come from the English “Never die”: when it is cut or young shoots are burned by the sun, it regrows immediately with the first rains. Its uses are multiple: its seeds contain edible oil also used externally to soften the skin of babies. The seed powder has the property of purifying water. The leaves are used to fight diseases related to malnutrition. They contain 2 times more lipids than milk, 3 times more potassium than bananas, 4 times more Vitamin A than carrots and 7 times more Vitamin C than an orange.
Moringa oil extraction
Moringa seeds are from three-lobed pods. Each pod contains between 12 and 35 black seeds, round with brown husk and 3 white wings.
A tree can produce between 15000 and 25000 seeds a year. The oil is expressed from the seeds of the tree. The oil content of shelled seeds, that is, almonds is 42%. Moringa Africajou oil is bright yellow. This oil is known internationally as “ben's oil".
