This tree is a veritable miracle vegetable in all countries,its so rich in nutrients. 200 grams of malungay or Oleifera leaves would give a nutritive value roughly equivalent to four eggs and two glasses of milk.Its iron compound prevent deficiency of red blood cells known as anemia.And being a very rich source of calcium,it aids in maintaining healthy bones and teeth.And if the roots of this tree is chewed and applied to a snake bite, it will prevent venom from spreading.
