One may also use the flowers
As tea to treat colds. In
omelettes they taste like
mushrooms.

pregnancy they may cause abortion

And also the pods
When they are young, cook the pods as a vegetable.
When older, cook the white seeds like peas.

In Kendu Bay, on the shores of Lake Victoria
it really was like a miracle.
Heavy rains had caused the lake water to turn brown.
After using moringa seeds, we could drink tea made with lake water – and taste the tea!

Almost every part is useful
• Leaves
• Flowers
• Seeds
• Roots
• Pods
![Page 25: Moringa Oleifera - English Condensed](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55143320497959ee1d8b45d6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Where does this tree grow?
• In tropical and sub-tropical semi-arid climates up to a height of about 1500 m.
• Where the rainfall lies between 250 and 3000 mm per year
• On light clay or sandy soils.• Even where droughts occur• And even where short term flooding occurs.

Everyone should plant many moringa trees!
Sow the seeds in good earth or damp paper
![Page 27: Moringa Oleifera - English Condensed](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55143320497959ee1d8b45d6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Set up a nursery!
like here in Bassar, Togo
![Page 28: Moringa Oleifera - English Condensed](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55143320497959ee1d8b45d6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Make a hedge, or a plantation
• Transplant into good earth in a large hole.
• Put a lot of compost in the hole and then cover the ground with mulch.
![Page 29: Moringa Oleifera - English Condensed](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55143320497959ee1d8b45d6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Constantly trim the
branches!
in order to produce the maximum amount of leaves and seeds!
In tropical climates the trees can be cut back 7 or 8 times a year. In a plantation one can produce up to 120 tons of dry leaves per
hectare and year!Source: Prof. Dr. K. Becker, University of Stuttgart-Hohenheim

Can you now believe that Moringa oleifera is a miracle tree?
![Page 31: Moringa Oleifera - English Condensed](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55143320497959ee1d8b45d6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Moringa stenopetala
There are other very important moringa trees.
M. Stenopetala grows in Ethiopia.
It has similar properties to M. oleifera.
![Page 32: Moringa Oleifera - English Condensed](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55143320497959ee1d8b45d6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Moringa stenopetala…is also used as a vegetable.
The tree is bigger than M. oleifera – leaves, pods, seeds, everything.
But it has not been so thoroughly researched.
