Moringa oleifera--an NPR report

Here is an NPR report online about moringa.

"One doesn't need to do very much to prove that if you are hungry or nutritionally replete, then eating moringa as a source of vegetable protein in a varied diet is a good thing to do. We're beyond the need to prove that."

Jed Fahey, a nutritional biochemist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who has been studying the plant for 20 years.

 Thank you, Gordon French, for the link.
