Moringa seeds - Microplastics from water

Moringa seeds are processed for purification in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on January 5, 2026. The moringa tree (Moringa oleifera) is highly nutritious and valued for its medicinal properties. Recent research from scientists in Brazil and the United Kingdom reveals that moringa seed extracts can effectively remove microplastics from drinking water, achieving 98.5% removal efficiency. Historically, moringa has been used for water purification by ancient civilizations like the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. Moringa seeds are nutrient-dense superfoods, containing 30–40% protein and 35-39% healthy fats, mainly oleic acid. They are high in magnesium, vitamin E, and antioxidants like quercetin, which help manage blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and provide antibacterial benefits.
