Where Does the Moringa Tree Grow? From War-Torn Soil to Global Superfood

Moringa is a true survivor.

Native to the foothills of the Himalayas, this tree thrives in dry, nutrient-poor soil where few other plants can grow. Over the past decades, it’s been planted across Asia, Africa, Central America, and the Caribbean as a tool to fight malnutrition and restore degraded land.

One fascinating chapter? After the Vietnam War, vast areas of land devastated by herbicides were replenished in part by Moringa trees. These resilient plants helped revive ecosystems and restore agricultural use, and today, Vietnamese farmers grow Moringa as a sustainable source of income.

In many parts of the world, Moringa is grown not only for its nutritional value but also for its ability to clean water, enrich soil, and feed livestock.

And now, it’s grown with purpose—to nourish you.

At Orange Toucan, we source high-quality Moringa where it grows best, supporting regenerative agriculture and fair trade practices—then we meticulously utilize the leaves from the Moringa tree, combine it with real fruit juices and use an advanced aseptic process (a clean sterile process that eliminates artificial preservatives) to make our beverages, so every sip you take assists your body in being the best that it can be and it gives back to the earth and all who farmed it.

Moringa….a true Superfood!
