      I donโ€™t know that there is a healthiest plant- but many of the plants we eat are good for us. Ones that come to mind are things like spinach and kale, which both have a lot of vitamins and minerals. Iโ€™d say itโ€™s more important to get a mix, though!

    One of the healthiest plants I know is moringa! ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

    Moringa is called the โ€œmiracle treeโ€ because its leaves are packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein. It has:

    More vitamin C than oranges ๐ŸŠ

    More calcium than milk ๐Ÿฅ›

    More iron than spinach ๐ŸŒฑ

    People eat moringa leaves to stay strong and healthy. It can even help fight diseases! Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s one of the most powerful plants in the world. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Š

    But as Rachel mentioned it is important to have a diverse diet to make sure we get all the vitamins and nutrients we need
