About Malunggay
Malunggay, known globally as Moringa oleifera or drumstick tree, is a highly nutritious plant native to South Asia but widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, including the Philippines. Its leaves, pods, and seeds are staples in various cuisines, often incorporated into soups, stews, and herbal teas. Malunggay is celebrated for its impressive nutritional profile, which includes high levels of vitamins A, C, and E, calcium, potassium, and protein. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, it supports immune health, promotes healthy skin, and may aid in managing blood sugar levels. While generally considered safe, excessive consumption of its seeds or pods may lead to digestive discomfort due to alkaloid content. Malunggay is a versatile superfood highly valued in traditional medicine and modern wellness for its ability to boost vitality and overall health while complementing diverse culinary traditions.
