Moringa may be the ultimate superfood.
Moringa is a tree â a super unusual tree, because not only is it incredibly nutritious and highly valued for its medicinal properties, but absolutely every part of it can be eaten. Moringa is loaded with healthy vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, making it a true superfood in every sense of the word. There are many ways to consume Moringa and take advantage of its health benefits.
Called âThe Miracle Treeâ by some cultures, it is said to be effective in treating upwards of 300 conditions and maladies. Although scientists have not studied all of its possible health benefits, we know for a fact that moringa contains many beneficial nutrients that everyone needs. If your diet is lacking in nutrients, moringa can be an incredible boost for your health.
The Moringa tree originates in India, where it has been prized for thousands of years, both as a bountiful source of nutrition, and a robust curative featured heavily in the ancient Ayurveda Medicine tradition. The Moringa can now be found growing in many different countries, bringing health, nutrition, vitality, and beauty to diverse populations across the world.
Like so many traditional folk remedies, Moringaâs healing and nourishing properties have sustained populations for centuries. People didnât know why it worked, they just knew that it did. In ancient India, Maurian warriors were fed Moringa leaf extract at the war front to provide them with extra stamina and strength. Now, science has only started to study and prove all of moringaâs countless health benefits, and we can apply these discoveries to our own journey towards health, strength, and beauty.
There are 13 varieties of Moringa, but the most common one, and the one we are focusing on here, is Moringa Oleifera. It has delicate, feathery branches with small, deep green, oval leaves that are wonderful in salads, teas, or as a healthy side dish. If eaten raw, they have a little bite to them like watercress or radicchio. When cooked, they tend to mellow out a bit, and are much more like spinach, but with a somewhat nutty flavor.
Youâll have a hard time finding fresh moringa; more likely, youâll find it in powder or capsule form. Although before it was rare to find moringa in any form in North America, now you can get it from many online and brick-and-mortar retailers and can easily start taking advantage of its benefits.
Ground into powder, Moringa is used as a natural multivitamin that promotes health and beauty. The powder can be taken in capsule form, sprinkled into soups and sauces, added to your Glowing Green Smoothie, or steeped in hot water and consumed as a soothing tea with tons of nutritional, alkalizing and purifying benefits.
In this video below Kimberly speaks with Julie from Gardens for Health International, who mentions how in Rwanda they use the fresh Moringa in their Glowing Green Smoothie.
There are many ways to add moringa to your food â you just have to get creative.
