MORINGA - THE UNSUNG HERO We are dedicated to singing the praises of this forgotten hero of a tree! Moringa is called by many names, worldwide - regardless of the name, the tree is still the same. What else can you grow that can sustain life, grow up to 15 feet its first year, contains significant amounts of Calcium, Protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, all of the essential amino acids - and then some - and tastes wonderful? All parts of the tree are edible - the leaves, the flowers, the pods, and the seeds. (The ROOT is also edible, however, we advise that people DO NOT EAT IT. The root bark contains a substance, which acts as a neurotoxin - and can be EXTREMELY toxic, and dangerous to your nervous system. So,...why bother with it?) In 2008, we started planting Moringa Oleifera, Moringa Stenopetala, and Moringa Ovalifolia trees. At present, we have about 500 of them growing, and are planting more continuously. For a source of extreme nutrition, it just about cannot be topped. Because it is a tropical tree, Moringa will be a challenge for those who live in a cold climate, BUT... you can grow it just about anywhere. Here in Florida, Moringa trees can stay outside year-round. In colder climates, your Moringa tree can be grown in any large container, and simply brought inside when the temperatures drop.

OUR FAVORITE MORINGA VARIETY Although though we are actively growing Moringa Stenopetala, Moringa Oleifera, Moringa Ovalifolia, and one "unknown" variety, we DO have a favorite. It is the African Moringa, Moringa Stenopetala. The leaves are larger, and have a "meatier" flavor to them than the other varieties, but they are ALL delicious! |
