daily stock available
Moringa powder, derived from the dried leaves of the Moringa oleifera tree (often called the "Drumstick Tree" or "Miracle Tree"), is a highly nutrient-dense superfood.
🍎 Nutritional Profile
Moringa is a rare plant-based source of complete protein, containing all essential amino acids. It is particularly high in:
* Vitamins: Vitamin A (vision and immunity), Vitamin C (antioxidant), and Vitamin E.
* Minerals: Significant amounts of Calcium (up to 17 times more than milk), Iron, and Potassium.
* Antioxidants: Rich in quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and polyphenols.
🥗 How to Use It
The powder has an "earthy" or "spinachy" taste. It is best used as a seasoning rather than a main ingredient.
* Stir & Shake: Mix 1/2 to 1 teaspoon into water, apple juice, or coconut water.
* Blend: Add to green smoothies with banana, mango, or pineapple to mask the flavor.
* Sprinkle: Dust over salads, roasted vegetables, eggs, or avocado toast.
* Warm Dishes: Stir into soups, dals, or curries just before serving (to preserve nutrients).
* Tea: Steep 1 teaspoon in hot water with lemon and honey.
⚡ Key Health Benefits
* Anti-Inflammatory: Helps manage conditions like arthritis and joint pain.
* Blood Sugar Regulation: May help lower fasting blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
* Cholesterol Support: Plant sterols and fibers help reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol.
* Digestive Health: High fiber content supports gut health and regular bowel movements.
⚠️ Precautions & Side Effects
* Start Small: Begin with 1/2 teaspoon daily. Taking too much too quickly can cause a laxative effect, gas, or stomach upset.
* Pregnancy: Avoid moringa root, bark, or flowers, as they contain substances that can cause uterine contractions. Consult a doctor before using the leaf powder.
* Medication Interactions: Use caution if you are on blood sugar-lowering (diabetes) or blood pressure medications, as moringa can enhance these effects.
* Timing: Some people find it energizing, so it is often better taken in the morning rather than late at night.
