Introduction to Moringa and Its Origins

Moringa, often referred to as the 'miracle tree', is a highly nutritious plant recognized for its various health benefits. The leaves of the Moringa tree are known for their rich nutrient profile, containing significant amounts of essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Lisa Curtis, who discovered Moringa during her time as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, shared her experience of using Moringa leaves in local recipes to overcome nutrient deficiencies. This transformative experience inspired her to start a company aimed at bringing Moringa to broader markets, emphasizing its ability to aid in alleviating malnutrition and improve energy levels.
