Moringa may well be unheard of to most of the western world; but it is far from foreign to those residing in (West) Africa, India, the Philippines and other parts of Asia. Moringa plantations have been growing successfully in these regions for centuries. The tree was also highly valued in the ancient world; with the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians extracting edible oil from the seeds for the purpose of perfume and lotion. 

Moringa oleifera is now widely cultivated and has become naturalised in many locations in the tropics. A rapidly-growing and drought-resistant tree that is multi-functional and can be used for food, feed, fibre, oil, medicinal use, cosmetics and water purification.
