26 SEEDS Organic Moringa | Malunggay SEEDSCulinary Tip: Moringa leaves need to be fully cooked before serving (generally you boil them until tender), but after that they can easily be tossed into recipes the same way you would any other leafy green. They make a great addition to soups and stews like our Slow Cooker Creamy Lentil Soup or Onion, Kale, Chickpea and Chicken Soup. But they can also be kneaded into dough for flatbreads, or braised with spices and aromatics for a healthy side dish. In powdered form, moringa is versatile enough to be added to both sweet and savory dishes. It’s bright green with an earthy bitterness similar to green tea matcha powder—though some also describe it as “nutty” or “spinach-like.” You can blend it into shakes and smoothies, stir it into your morning oatmeal, fold it into muffin or quick bread batters, or steep it on its own as a tea.
Moringa Oleifera is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree of the family Moringaceae. Common names include moringa, malunggay and drumstick tree (from the long, slender, triangular seed-pods). It is widely cultivated for its young seed pods and leaves, used as vegetable. Flowering begins within the first six months after planting. The fruit is a hanging, three-sided brown capsule of 20–45 cm size, which holds dark brown, globular seeds with a diameter around 1 cm. The seeds have three whitish papery wings and are dispersed by wind and water.
