Incorporating moringa into your daily routine is easy, and there are several ways to enjoy this nutrient-packed plant.
1. Fresh Moringa Leaves
The leaves of the moringa tree are the most nutritious part. You can add fresh moringa leaves to salads, soups, or stews, much like you would use spinach or kale. Alternatively, lightly sauté them in olive oil and garlic for a tasty side dish.
2. Drying Moringa Leaves
To preserve your moringa harvest, dry the leaves by spreading them out in a cool, shaded area. Once completely dry, crush them into a fine powder. This moringa powder can be added to smoothies, soups, or even baked goods for an extra nutrient boost.
3. Moringa Tea
Both fresh and dried moringa leaves can be used to make a refreshing tea. Steep a handful of fresh leaves or crushed dried leaves in hot water for about 5 minutes. You can add honey and lemon for extra flavor if you wish.
4. Moringa Pods (Drumsticks)
