Moringa Leaf
Moringa oleifera
Select sizeThe plant
Moringa is a tropical tree with clusters of small leaflets. Its edible leaves are dried for use in foods and herbal preparations.
What's in it
The leaf contains protein, fibre and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. Chlorophyll is its green pigment; nutrient amounts vary by serving and processing.
How it works
Food nourishment: Protein supplies building blocks for body tissues, while fibre contributes to the diet. Whole-leaf use: Eating the leaf or its powder includes more of the plant material than straining a tea. This makes moringa a versatile green ingredient for food-based wellbeing routines.
