What is Moringa?
Moringa is a tree, native to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, which has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Each part of the tree has its own health benefits. For this reason, its leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, bark and root are essential elements for preparing homemade remedies, but they are also used to make medicines. The flowers and seeds are also used to purify water and remove salt from seawater. Indian people also use Moringa as a condiment.
What is great about this plant is that it can grow even in poor soils and is drought resistant. However, all its parts are rich in nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants, and they don’t lose the nutritional value when dried.
But what part of Moringa oleifera tree is this?
We have made a powder from the leaves.
First, they are harvested fresh and then dried at room temperature, in a dark place for about two weeks, then grounded into a fine powder.
When dried, the leaves retain lots of minerals and vitamins. You can take full advantage of these leaves and use them to prepare an excellent energy drink, loaded with nutrients that are essential for the proper functioning of your body’s systems.
