What You Need To Know: The moringa oleifera tree is considered nature’s true multivitamin. With its edible flowers, leaves and seed pods, just about all of the tree can be used for medicinal or culinary purposes. A popular ayurvedic ingredient, it’s a real-life “giving tree!” | |||
Why You Should Try It: With more vitamin A than a carrot, more vitamin C than an orange, and more potassium than a banana, the benefits of moringa oleifera are mind boggling. It supports healthy digestion, mental clarity, provides an immediate energy boost and lowers both cholesterol and blood sugar levels? How, you ask? Moringa oleifera’s plethora of benefits can be attributed to the fact that it contains – brace yourself – 18 different amino acids, 15 different minerals, all vitamins A through K, 46 antioxidants and all three omegas. Whew! | |||
Let’s Get Together: When a jar of this slightly carob-tasting miracle superfood came across our desk, we knew we couldn’t refuse. We’re currently addicted to Moringa Delight’s brand of 100% moringa oleifera raw leaf powder, which can be thrown into everything from smoothies to tea! Look out: we predict this “giving tree” is about to be the next hot trend in the heath-conscious world! | |||

Julia Gometz of Venus NY Body Shaping in New York City includes moringa in the welcome package for all new clients. “It has many benefits including hunger suppressant and anti-inflammatory,” she says. They implement moringa in a variety of ways—tea, capsule, powder, drink mixes—and keep at it until they find the right combination, she says. “We did our own research which included speaking to several weight loss centers and it was clear from experience. And now we have experienced it firsthand. It may have been one of the effects that emerged from consistent use of moringa in people who were dieting,” she says. | Julia Gometz of Venus NY Body Shaping in New York City includes moringa in the welcome package for all new clients. “It has many benefits including hunger suppressant and anti-inflammatory,” she says.

Sensory experience: The leaf powder has been described as rich and nutty, but it smells decidedly grassy, similar to green tea, with a bit of a radish, or peppery bite—accounting for its nickname the horseradish tree. | |||
Nutrition and other benefits: Moringa is loaded with antioxidants, in particular vitamins A and C, and a wide range of B vitamins. It’s an immune system booster, an inflammation fighter, and it also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties. It’s also considered a complete protein because it contains all nine essential amino acids. Curtis was drawn to it for all of these reasons, and because of its iron and calcium stores, too. | Nutrition and other benefits: Moringa is loaded with antioxidants, in particular vitamins A and C, and a wide range of B vitamins.
