Moringa seed is the seed of Moringa tree. Moringa oleifera is called "miracle tree", and its leaves, flowers, tender pods and seeds (Moringa oleifera seeds) can be eaten directly. The powder ground from its tender roots is one of the raw materials for making curry powder.

The oil extracted from Moringa oleifera seeds is edible oil. Moringa oleifera has provided daily nutrition for Indian vegetarians since ancient times, and it is easy to cultivate. Therefore, the promotion of Moringa oleifera cultivation in Africa is regarded by the United Nations as an aid project to solve the food shortage in Africa.
