Best Answer

The Malunggay plant grows in the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and other regions of Asia. It can grow up to fifteen feet tall and has small, tender muti leafed branches similar to a fern, but with more of a roundish or lobe leaf. The plant is edible and is sometime called the horseradish tree for the taste of its roots and its leaves taste like spinach but contains three times more iron. Because of its high concentration of nutrients and vitamins the plant is believed to have a number of medicinal-properties such as slowing the aginging process, promoting life extention and fighting cancer, among many others.
