There are still quite a few common moringa seed trees in Africa. The fruit can be drunk in water, bitter first and then sweet.
Moringa seeds are the seeds of the moringa tree. Moringa is a perennial tropical and subtropical deciduous tree, belonging to the genus Moringa of the angiophylum Moringa family, which originated in India and is currently cultivated in Africa and tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Moringa seeds are rich in nutrients in the seeds and leaves.
According to the tests carried out by relevant institutions, the total sugar content of moringa seeds is 6.9% to 9.5%, the protein content is 36.2% to 38.7%, the fat content is 33.8% to 38.2%, the potassium content is 515.3 to 617.6mg/100g, the calcium content is 95 to 135.3mg/100g, and the iron content is 2.9 to 3.5mg/100g. Among them, the oleic acid content was 22.6%, isooleic acid was 18.1%, anti-oleic acid was 13.5%, glycerol monooleate was 9.2%, and palmitic acid was 8.1%.
It can be seen that the component with the highest proportion of nutrients in moringa seeds is oleic acid, which is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid that exists in animals and plants and can reduce total blood cholesterol and harmful cholesterol, so the nutrition community calls oleic acid a "safe fatty acid". Oleic acid is not a rare substance, it is also abundant in pistachios and large almonds, and the oleic acid content in pistachios is about 22%, which is similar to moringa seeds
