About
Powder
The most common Moringa product is dried Moringa leaf
powder. The leaves are considered to be the most nutritious
part of the tree. They are picked every few months, dried at
low temperatures, and shredded into an easily digested
powder. The powder is placed into sealed packaging and sold
as a nutritional supplement. The amazing nutrient density of
Moringa oleifera leaves make the powder an ideal source of
vitamins, minerals, complete plant protein, and powerful
antioxidants
Our Moringa leaf powder can also be bought in bulk - usually
in half-pound or one pound bags. As a powder, it can be used
in a variety of ways. Many recipes from the East, including
Indian, Philippine, and Malaysian recipes, use leaf powder
to thicken sauces, add a nutty flavor, and provide nutrients
to the meal.
Tea
Another popular Moringa product is Moringa tea. The leaves
of the Moringa tree are dried and shredded for making tea.
Many people choose to use loose Moringa leaf powder to
create tea or add the powder to their existing tea blends.
The tea provides an energetic and healthy alternative to
highly caffeinated coffees and teas, and provides powerful
antioxidants to keep your body free of dangerous toxins.
As natural health alternatives continue to grow increasingly
important to people concerned with their health and well-
being, Moringa products gain more attention. The Moringa
tree is remarkable because practically every part of it can
be used in a beneficial way. It is no wonder there are so
many products available for people to use and enjoy.
