Moringa oleifera
15 seeds
 "Horseradish tree"
This 25 foot tall tree is sometimes mistaken for a legume. It has
delicate foliage and attractive pale white-yellow fragrant flowers that
are borne in loose clusters in the leaf axils. Flowering and fruiting
freely and continuously. Grows best on a dry sandy soil. Makes an ideal
shade tree with high drought resistance. Possibly one of the most useful
trees in the world, it produces long green pods that have been compared
to a cross between peanuts and asparagus. The roots are used as a
substitute for horseradish and the edible leaves make a highly
nutritious vegetable. The roots have also been documented as useful in
many folk remedies. The flowers, shoots, and foliage are edible as
greens. The name derives from the roots, which taste like horseradish
and are used as a substitute. Cattle are particularly fond of them.
Young pods are cooked in curries. Seeds, which taste like peanuts when
fried, are eaten, but they contain an alkaloid, which limits their use.
The unripe pods, known as `susumber' or `drumsticks', are cut up and
boiled like beans. The outsides of the pods are extremely hard and woody
and impossible to eat; one has to pick them up and eat the sticky pulp
inside and `pips' which are lightly hot and delicious. Upon pressing,
the seeds yield an oil called ben oil. This nondrying oil is used for
oiling machinery, in salad oil, and in soaps. The corky bark yields a
gum used in India to print calico (cotton cloth with figured patterns)
