Abstract

As it is a rich source of specific macro and micronutrients that are crucial for human nourishment, the Moringaoleifera tree is sometimes referred to as a miracle tree. Depending on the plant variety and source, the elemental composition of the different portions of the moringa tree may change. There are several uses for the leaf, seed, and flower of M. oleifera in cuisine. Initially, we outlined the current state of understanding regarding M. oleifera's usage as a food fortifier in amala (stiff loaf), ogi (maize gruel), bread, cookies, buttermilk, cheese, and the preparation of soups. The industry research research problem was highlighted, and suggestions regarding future M. oleifera food uses as well as the necessity of an experimental setup that is well-organized and quite well were made. A review report in regards to the recently emerging and nutrition packed superfood specifically moringaoleifera recounting its various health benefits. It belongs to the group of Moringaceae, indigenous to the subcontinent of India. Frequently used names include moringa, drumstick tree, horseradish tree, etc. One and all part of moringa plant including its leaves, stems, roots, buds etc. is remarkably benefiting in every possible way from anti-ageing to prevention of cancer and diabetes.
