The Manilla Bulliten Publishing Co. delivered a story showing the wonders of the Moringa Leaf. The article begins with the traditional benefits that have been passed down from grand mother to mother to daughter and then continues to advance to the new scientific research and nutritional content stored in Moringa. ”

Time and again, our grandmas have told us that malunggay is good for blood circulation and helps in producing milk in the case of lactating mothers. What we didn’t know was that aside from these, malunggay, or scientifically known as moringa oelifera and known to the rest of the world as the moringa leaf, is so full of nutrients and vitamins that an ounce of it in its powdered form is more potent than a multivitamin capsule. In fact, it has the same amount of Vitamin C as seven oranges, has four times more calcium than milk, contains three times the potassium in bananas, four times the Vitamin A in carrots and three times the iron in spinach. All these nutrients are found in those petite green leaves that most of us have in our backyards.

Dubbed by experts as the “miracle vegetable,” its myriad of health benefits is truly remarkable, earning the respect of professionals in the medical field. Research shows that regular ingestion of malunggay leaves helps neutralize and negate the effects of carcinogens, thereby minimizing the chance of acquiring cancer. It also boosts the immune system, regulates blood cholesterol and glucose levels, and helps the body in battling stress, among others.

These health benefits were not lost on Atty. Jose D. Lina, President of Manila Hotel. Lina spearheaded the Manila Hotel’s Malunggay Festival which features the collaboration of the Hotel’s well-known Café Ilang Ilang and its newly-opened Chinese Restaurant, the Mabuhay Palace. “Malunggay leaves are very cheap, very easy to grow in our backyards, and yet so full of vitamins and minerals” said Atty. Lina.

From May 25 to May 31, we can all experience the extraordinary flavor the hotel’s master chefs have infused in malunggay. The natural nutrients found in malunggay have been combined with Manila Hotel’s expertise and century-old knowledge in whipping up world-class dishes.”
