Curry Leaf Tree

Curry leaves are the curry tree's leaves (Murraya koenigii). This tree is native to India, and its leaves can be used for both food and medicine. They have a distinct taste and strong citrus undertones. Although M. koenigii belongs to a different family than neem, Azadirachta indica, which is in the adjacent family Meliaceae, the plant is occasionally referred to as "sweet neem."

The plant itself is relatively easy to grow and can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. It prefers a warm, humid climate and can be grown in pots or in the ground. The plant requires regular watering and well-draining soil, and it benefits from occasional fertilization.

In addition to its culinary uses, curry leaves have also been used for medicinal purposes in Ayurvedic medicine. They are believed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, and may be beneficial for a variety of health conditions. However, more research is needed to fully understand their potential health benefits.
