Moringa's Indian Roots
Moringa, cherished in India for centuries, is a staple in curries and traditional remedies. Every part of the tree is edible! In the West, it's the powder
form that has gained popularity as a superfood. Discover its ease of use and how it fits into modern lifestyles.
Powder vs. Leaves
Fresh moringa leaves boast vitamins A, C, and E, along with calcium and iron. Drying the leaves into powder does reduce some Vitamin C, but iron and antioxidants remain potent. Powder offers convenience, especially when fresh leaves are harder to find.
Drumsticks: The Fruit!
Drumsticks, the fruit of the moringa tree, are another nutritional powerhouse, especially rich in vitamin C and fiber. Often added to Indian curries and stews, drumsticks offer a unique flavor and texture, complementing the leaves and powder's benefits.
Powder's US Advantage
The powder form is a champion in places like the US. Imported fresh produce isn’t always easily available, and doesn't last long. Moringa powder is easy to store, lasting for months. It can be added to smoothies, soups, or teas for a health boost.
Using Moringa Forms
Moringa powder can be added to any dish, a spoonful can significantly increase your health. Fresh leaves can be cooked similar to spinach in curries or stir-fries. Moringa fruit (drumsticks) offer a unique taste when added to curries and stews.
