What it does

Unusually dense in micronutrients for a leaf that grows almost anywhere.

Where the number comes from

Moringa leaves sits in the veg group of the Fadnes model, the only peer-reviewed model that converts eating into years of life. The lifetime gain for that group is spread across the days you actually eat it — a daily serving from age 20 to 80 — which gives +8 min per serving. The authors rate the evidence behind this group as low.
