I Love Moringa.
SUPER NUTRITION - RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD!
If you love salad greens, spinach, collards, and other greens, you will LOVE moringa! Right off the tree, it almost has a spinach-watercress taste. Steamed, or sautéed with a touch of butter, olive oil or coconut oil, it almost tastes like "pecan-ny" spinach. It is tender, delicious, and highly nutritious.
It is also one FAST growing tree! Some Moringa trees are slender, some have "bottle trunks", some are tuberous. All of them are beneficial.
A few years ago, I was introduced to Moringa. With the exorbitant cost of fresh food at the grocery stores and supermarkets, I decided to plant as much edible landscaping as I could. Planting Moringa was essential. It is an incredible powerhouse of fresh nutrition.
Above is a photo of the top of one of my Moringa trees. The seedling was already about four feet tall, but
it was only a few months old. By that time, we had picked and eaten hundreds of its leaves. It obliged us by growing hundreds more!
Moringa can be grown in your yard, in your garden, as a windbreak, as a hedge, or in a container - inside or out. It is basically a tropical tree, so it loves water, sunlight, and warmth. Moringa is one of the fastest-growing biomasses on the planet - easy to grow, and wonderful to eat!
The leaves can be eaten - fresh, cooked, or dried, the flowers - cooked, the young pods - cooked, and the seeds - raw or cooked. Raw Moringa seeds, crushed into powder, can be used to purify water. The ROOT - which tastes like horseradish - LEAVE ALONE . The bark of the root contains a substance that can be extremely toxic to your nervous system. Too much of it can harm you. How much? No one seems to know. Our advice is - buy horseradish at the store - but don't eat your Moringa trees' roots!
Please enjoy our "I Love Moringa" website, dedicated to my favorite bountifully healthy tree. Take a moment to visit the pages that "Morey" and "Stan" - our Moringa seeds - had us publish here for them.
They want to remind you that they started it all - and they are always concerned they won't get the credit!
