Nutritional Benefits

Moringa is rich in vitamins and minerals like calcium, potassium, zinc, magnesium, iron, copper, and vitamins C, D, and E. It also contains helpful natural compounds such as flavonoids and antioxidants that boost immunity and reduce inflammation. In fact 100 grams of moringa leaves have 28 mg of iron compared to only 2 mg in the same amount of beef. Similarly the calcium content in dried moringa powder is far higher than in milk.

Zinc in moringa helps in cell repair and male fertility. The oil made from moringa seeds, known as ben oil, is good for heart health and skincare. Moringa flowers are known to increase breastmilk production and may also lower cholesterol.

Traditional Uses

Our ancestors planted moringa trees near wells because of their antibacterial qualities. The seeds are now proven to clean water by removing up to 90% of impurities. Parts of the moringa tree are still used in traditional medicine to treat conditions like dysentery, eye infections and even heart problems.

Moringa and Modern Health

Scientific studies show that moringa helps manage diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol. It also contains cancer-fighting elements. Food labs have even started using moringa powder in bread and biscuits to improve nutrition.

Safe Daily Limit

Experts suggest that consuming up to 7 grams of dried moringa leaf powder per day is safe. However, if you are already taking medication for diabetes, high BP, or kidney issues, consult your doctor before using it regularly.

You can enjoy moringa in soups, omelettes, salads, or curry. It’s a simple, natural way to boost your health every day.
