From 1.70€
Moringa (Moringa oleifera), also known as the “miracle tree”, whose roots, stems, leaves, seed pods, resin and flowers have long been considered medicinal. Moringa originates from the Himalayan mountain region, especially in India, and has subsequently spread to Southwest Asia, Southwest and Northeast Africa, Madagascar, the Philippines, and the USA.
Both moringa powder and dried moringa leaves come from the same source, the moringa oleifera tree, but they differ in terms of their preparation, texture, and use.
Moringa has been used in Ayurveda for centuries. It is classified as an all-in-one plant with many health benefits.
Moringa powder is made by drying fresh moringa leaves at low temperatures to preserve the nutrients. The dried leaves are then ground into a fine powder, thus preserving the nutrients.
Dried moringa leaves are obtained by drying the fresh leaves in the air until they become crisp and brittle. Like moringa powder, dried moringa leaves are rich in nutrients and contain essential vitamins and minerals. However, they may contain a slightly lower concentration of nutrients compared to the nutrient content of moringa powder.
Known as a superfood due to its exceptional nutritional profile and health benefits, moringa powder is a natural and versatile addition to a healthy diet.
It is said to contain substances that support overall health and strengthen the body’s defences. The nutrient content of moringa potentially provides natural energy support.
ECHO (Educational Concerns for Hunger Organisation) says: “Malnutrition is the leading cause of high infant mortality in the tropics. Moringa has helped provide for these hungry children and is considered one of the most nutritious plants in the world. It is an important source of nutrients for nursing mothers and developing children.”
Possible side effects of moringa powder
Although moringa powder is generally safe to consume, excessive intake may cause minor side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea or upset stomach.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as people taking medication or with specific medical conditions, should be careful before including moringa powder in their diets.
