Moringa stenopetala, the African moringa, is a distinct species native to the Horn of Africa and a food staple in parts of southern Ethiopia. It is more drought tolerant and larger leaved than Moringa oleifera, and its leaves are eaten as a cooked vegetable. It sees far less international trade than oleifera but is important to regional food security.
