Moringa Powder
and
How to Use It
Snackable Moringa tree!Moringa a nutritional immune system builder, no matter the size.
It is simple to reap the benefits of this amazing tree, because it can be consumed in it's freshest form by picking leaves right off the tree. Which I have done many times from my little tree I grew from seed.
I buy the powder as well, because my tree is in a pot inside, and due to our climate will not grow very big.
However, it has been a fun and interesting endeavor. As well as, the leaves have been useful for salads or just grabbing for a healthy pick me up snack.
OIn addition the leaves can be dried and powdered and be put in drinks, smoothies, soups, casseroles, or basically anything you can match it's flavor to.
Cooking hint when using Moringa
When adding Moringa powder or leaves to soups, in order to keep the highest amount of nutrition, add it after the food is completely cooked. Don't add while it is boiling.
I use it often in stews and tomato based soups, and it doesn't affect the flavor.
Some other uses I found for Moringa Powder are, a green sauce made by mixing some of the leaf powder with olive oil, but to start with a smaller amount and increase, as you acquire a taste for it.
It can be mixed into guacomole and omelettes which packs a lot more nutrition into already healthy foods!
Adding some to sandwich spreads, salad dressing and sprinkled on salads or some more great ways to add the powerful nutrition of Moringa to your meal.
I like to add it to my green tea that I drink at night. It's easier to get used to if you put it into a tea bag or tea ball due to the gritty nature of the powder in a drink.
My daughter adds honey to hers, but I drink it without. Try adding other flavored teas to it as well, if you can't quite get used to the taste.
It has a green taste to it, but it is very worth trying different ways to incorporate Moringa into your daily diet. Especially considering the many benefits you will receive from this amazing food source.
The easiest way we have found to add it to our diet is by our natural nutrition drink that we take daily, Moringa is one of the basic ingredients. Here is more on Moringa and Zeal, the Nutrition Powerhouse, and you can take a look at the rest of the healthy ingredients.
Since the dried leaves retain their nutrient content, the leaf powder is very nutritious.
In an independent test, Moringa oleifera scored the highest in antioxidant content of any food yet discovered. Beating the record-holding acai berry by over a 50%margin.

D., P.D., in her recently published book “Miracle Tree” (KOS Health Publications, 466 Foothill Blvd. #251, La Canada, CA. 91011. April 2005), in which Dr. Marcu provides a very detailed look at Moringa’s nutritional content, safety and bioavailability.
