Mighty Moringa - Natures Multivitamin!
It seems today that just about everything is called a "superfood". I don't use the term lightly when I say that Moringa truly is a SUPERFOOD!!
A nutritive, meaning its very nutritious due to its high vitamin and mineral content. High in vitamin C, helping to boost the immune system and absorption of iron. All-around amazing for health and detoxification.
Moringa contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source.
Fresh moringa leaves, gram for gram, contain:
- about 4 times the calcium of milk
- 7 times the vitamin C of oranges
- twice the protein of yogurt
- 4 times the vitamin A of carrots
- about 15 times the amount of potassium found in a banana
- and close to as much iron as spinach.
Easy to grow in warmer climates, making it a staple for every food forest!
Precautions: Safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Helps increase milk production and keep mamas' vitamin stores high as she builds a whole human, then recover from birth.
Taste: earthy and slightly bitter.
