      abstract = {Moringa oleifera commonly called ?Sehjan? in India, is?one of the most cultivated and distributed plant species in the region. It?is a variable species that typically grows to 10 meters in height and has multiple uses as a vegetable, spice, medicinal plant and supply of culinary and cosmetic oil. All the parts of?plant have a range of vital nutrients and thus provide rich minerals, proteins, vitamins, ? -carotene, amino acids, and various phenolic contents. Moringa has been found to be of tremendous help?in fighting malnutrition especially in children and nursing mothers because of its high nutrition and vitamin density. More?importantly, its leaves can have nearly four times more either vitamin A, calcium, iron, vitamin C and potassium contents compared with well-known sources like carrots, milk, spinach, oranges and banana. In addition,?the protein quality in Moringa leaves is better than milk and eggs. This review provides an extensive discussion?on the phytochemicals, bioactivities, medicinal values, and nutritional value of M. oleifera.},
