Moringa leaf powder is a nutritionally complex whole food naturally abundant in vitamins, minerals and all 8 essential amino acids as well as flavonoids. Containing over 90 nutrients and 46 antioxidants, moringa leaf powder is one of nature's most nutritious foods and is ideal for helping our bodies maintain optimum health and balance.
Moringa may not be a household name, however, research is coining it the superfood of our century.
Moringa is a plant that is often called the drumstick tree, the miracle tree, or the horseradish tree.
The moringa tree has been used for edible and medicinal purposes in Southeast Asia and Africa for centuries. Unlike most plants, the moringa is 100% edible. Meaning, the leaves, pods, flowers, and even the root are edible. The tree is packed with antioxidants, protein, vitamins and minerals that combat issues such as inflammation and numerous chronic diseases. The leaves are commonly tossed into salads, meat dishes, or are dried and ground into a powder. The pods are eaten in curries and soup too.
You can't keep fresh leaves for a long time so simply air dry it for 2-3 days and grind into powder and use in your smoothies, soups etc. and it is way cheaper than the store bought Moringa leaf powder.
