摘要: Moringa oleifera, an edible tree found worldwide in the dry tropics, is increasingly being used for nutritional supplementation. Its nutrient-dense leaves are high protein quality, leading to its widespread use by doctors, healers, nutritionists and community leaders, treat under-nutrition a variety of illnesses.
