This tree is truly a “miracle” tree offering hope;

nutritionally, medicinally and economically to
devastatingly poor 3rd world countries. It has
just recently begun being used as a supplement in
a juice form and in powdered leaf tablets.

"25 grams daily of Moringa Leaf Powder

will give a child" the following recommended daily
allowances:

Protein 42%, Calcium 125%, Magnesium 61%,

Potassium 41%, Iron 71%, Vitamin A 272%, and
Vitamin C 22%. These numbers are particularly
astounding; considering this nutrition is
available when other food sources may be scarce.

Scientific research confirms that these humble

leaves are a powerhouse of nutritional value. Gram
for gram, Moringa leaves contain: SEVEN times the
vitamin C in oranges, FOUR times the Calcium in
milk, FOUR times the vitamin A in carrots, TWO
times the protein in milk and THREE times the
Potassium in bananas.

Philippines

In the Philippines, the leaves are widely eaten. Bunches of leaves are available in many
markets, priced below many other leaf vegetables. The leaves are most often added to
a broth to make a simple and highly nutritious soup. The leaves are also sometimes
used as a characteristic ingredient in tinola

Tinola in Tagalog or la uya in Ilocano is a soup-based dish served as an appetizer or
main entrée in the Philippines. Traditionally, this dish is cooked with chicken, wedges

The leaves are now used in making "polvoron", which is a milky and powdered snack,
bio-fuel, and moringa oil.

On September 14, 2007, Senator Loren Legarda

Moringa among its priority crops for propagation. The Bureau of Plant Industry

content of 7 oranges, potassium of 3 bananas, 3 times the iron of spinach, 4 times the
amount of vitamin A in carrots, and 2 times the protein in milk. Moringa also helps to
purify water, a cheaper alternative to mechanical filtration.

Dr. Warwick Kerr wrote from Brazil that while he was the president of the State University of Maranhao,
he organized a group of students and professors to carry out an extension project. They planted 25,000
moringa seedlings (all descendants from one small packet we sent him in an envelope a few years ago).
"I like the moringa omelet that my wife prepares almost every morning. Collect a bowl of leaves, wash
and fry for five minutes with sliced onions, garlic and salt. While this is cooling, minced tomato and onion
are lightly fried then mixed with the fried moringa. Half a cup of this mix, two eggs and a spoon of any
bullion soup mix are stirred and then cooked. It is delicious!" [He added that the chaya cuttings we sent
made it fine and he has now distributed many plants in the community. "My wife is cooking it at least once
a week and prepares it in many ways. This was the most sensational introduction: 8 small stalks in a
regular airmail envelope!"]

The immature pods are the most valued and widely used of all
the tree parts. The pods are extremely nutritious, containing all
the essential amino acids along with many vitamins and other
nutrients. The immature pod can be eaten raw or prepared like
green peas or green beans, while the mature pods are usually
fried and possess a peanut-like flavor. The pods also yield 38 -
40% of non-drying, edible oil known as Ben Oil. This oil is clear,
sweet and odorless, and never becomes rancid. Overall, its
nutritional value most closely resembles olive oil.

* The leaves can be eaten as salad greens. They mix well with any other salad
ingredients. They can also be cooked, as any other greens, or combined with
barley, wheat, brown rice, wild rice, rye, buckwheat, spelt, corn, quinoa, millet, or
amaranth. Use them creatively, you won't be disappointed. Moringa leaves have a
distinctive, delicious taste that's all their own.
* The flowers & buds have to be cooked. Pluck as many as you can eat; the tree
will produce more.  People say they taste like mushrooms - we don't!  WE say
they taste -wonderful!
* Pick the very young pods, and cook them. The consensus is that they taste like
asparagus.
* Shell the young pods, and use the seeds as you would peas or fresh beans.
* Cook the mature seeds, or fry or roast them. They taste like popcorn, to us!
