Moringa

Moringa is a plant that contains essential vitamins and minerals often lacking in the Togolese diet. The tree can be used in a variety of ways to treat problems of malnutrition and water-borne illness. The leaves of the tree can be eaten or dried and crushed into a powder that can be added to sauces or sprinkled on top of any dish; the seeds of the plant can be turned into cooking oil as well as used to purify water. To illustrate the advantage of this plant: the leaves of a moringa tree contain seven times the vitamin C than one orange, four times the Vitamin A than a serving of carrots, four times the calcium contained on one glass of milk, three times the potassium than one banana, and two times the protein contained in one serving of yogurt! Moringa Fest was an event that I participated in that was planned by a Peace Corps volunteer in a village called Notse. The PCV has been completing a two year promotional initiative on the benefits of incorporating moringa into the Togolese diet.
