Moringa is especially promising as a food source in the tropics. This rapidly-growing tree is a perennial softwood tree with timber of low quality, but for centuries has been advocated for traditional medicinal and industrial uses. All parts of the Moringa tree are edible and have long been consumed by humans. However, all the plant parts of Moringa oleifera from Central India have not been investigated for their nutritive values. The present study showcases a comprehensive investigation on different plant parts of Moringa oleifera collected from Jabalpur. All the parts have good amount of nutritionally important minerals and were devoid of toxic heavy metals, making them suitable as a source of nutrition for both human and animals.
