 | How could I not write about Mooringa?! You only have to be around us for 2 seconds and you'll be drinking Moringa Boba Tea or rubbing the oil on your nails. To say Moringa is a staple in our home is an understatement. Everyone from the baby to my husband drinks, eats, and moisturizes with it. So what is it? |
Moringa Oleifera is a drought-resistant tree native to India which is grown mainly in tropical and subtropical areas. This nutrient rich whole green food is nothing new under the sun. It has been utilized for centuries. 1 tsp will provide all the nutrients needed for a day. It is rich in calcium, vitamins a & c, potassium, iron, and amino acids.
 I put it in my patties, meatballs, burgers, smoothies, scrambled eggs, soups, and since my children are unable to swallow capsules, I make moringa gummies too (some of these recipes are in the Rites of Passage Cookbook available in our Shop). Then there is the oil. Very emollient and a pain reliever. Hair, lips, diaper rash, mouth sores, cuts, sinuses, massages, etc. Moringa is so versatile. I hear it's even been used to purify water! This article is the tip of the iceberg. We'd be selfish not to share this superfood, so it's available in our Shop. | We grow it, but mainly we use it in it's powdered from. We encapsulate it, but mostly I cook with it. Most mornings start with a hot cup of moringa tea for everyone (lemon, honey, moringa powder, hot water, and chia seeds are optional) for a great energy boost. In the summer, we keep a pitcher of moringa lemonde in the fridge.   |
