MORINGA

The Moringa Oleifera tree has been called the “Tree of Life”

in many cultures.

India's ancient tradition of Ayurveda holds that the leaves of the

Moringa tree prevent 300 diseases!

Every part of the tree can be used.

For a vegetarian, vegan, ‘ital’ lifestyle-

We promote the use of traditional health foods, and are now sharing this enormous

“Wealth of Health” through export.

We are engaged in many aspects of the food production and

We either organically farm these foods ourselves, or work with local producers throughout the country.

We always welcome new partners as fertile land is still abundant here, and the promotion of agriculture is a major part of Ghana’s ‘millennium goals’ to be self-sufficient in feeding her people.

The bark, leaves and pod husks are rich in tannins and prevent diarrhea.

Ackee is the national fruit of Jamaica. Its name is derived from the Akan, West African name: Akye Fufo. The scientific name - Blighia Sapida - recognizes that Captain William Bligh brought the fruit from West Africa to Kew in Jamaica in 1793, during the Atlantic Slave Trade. The Captain was also responsible for taking Jamaican pineapples to Hawaii and South Sea's breadfruit to Jamaica.

Ackee grows in bunches on powerful, strong-rooted trees. The trees grow all across Jamaica, particularly in the farming regions of the south central plains in Clarendon and St. Elizabeth. There are two bearing seasons: between January to March and June to August.

Never open an ackee pod, because it is poisonous if eaten before it is fully mature. Consumers of the unripe fruit sometimes suffer from 'Jamaican Vomiting Sickness Syndrome' (JVS) allegedly caused by the unusual amino acid components, hypoglycin A and B.

MEDICINAL USES

- Anti-helminthic - In Brazil, an aqueous extract of ackee seeds, followed by a purgative, is used to treat parasitic infestations of the bowel.

- Febrile, diarrheal illnesses - In Cuba, ripe ackee arils are blended with sugar and cinnamon for dysentery. In Colombia, the leaves and bark are used in a tea for stomach ailments.

- Topical analgesic- In Cote D'Ivoire, ackee bark is mixed with other spices and applied to aching joints or wounds. Young, crushed ackee leaves can also be applied to the forehead for headache, or used as a poultice for ulcerating wounds.

- Conjunctivitis - In West Africa, an extract of ackee leaves is used to make eye drops.

- Aphrodisiac stimulant - Also in West Africa, the pulverized bark of the ackee tree is mixed with hot peppers and rubbed on the body as a stimulant
