I met my first moringa tree

The Moringa tree is widely cultivated for its nutritious edible parts. Moringa leaves, pods and seeds have more vitamin C than oranges as well as high amounts of calcium, potassium, iron, zinc and more. They're also high in antioxidants. The leaves were used to flavor our meal at the organic farm. Maybe that's what made it so incredibly delicious.

 

Apparently, Castro promoted wide planting of this tree in Cuba.
