A native of India, the fast-growing and sustainable Neem tree (Azadirachta indica ) has been sought out for thousands of years for its many beneficial properties. Neem Oil and Azadiractin are two well-known products derived from the seeds of the tree and Neem Seed Meal (also known as Neem Cake) is another. This OMRI listed Neem Seed Meal is produced by cold-pressing the seeds after the oil has been removed.
