In areas where the soil freezes to about 6 inches, you can cut the Malunggay/Moringa tree down to about an 8" (eight inches) stump). Insulate it with leaves so the the soil of about 2 feet radius of the trunk won't freeze. When the snow melts and the temperature is over 40*F remove the insulation and let the Malunggay/Moringa "breath", soon enough you will see saplings and you can start harvesting again within 2 months. | In areas where the soil freezes to about 6 inches, you can cut the Malunggay/Moringa tree down to about an 8" (eight inches) stump).

==Malunggay for a healthy lifestyle== | |||
Malunggay can be cooked and eaten with rice, but MPFI board secretary Elena Van Tooren suggests drying the leaves, blending it until it is pulverized, and adding it to food or juice. | |||
Malunggay leaves can be dried by bundling the harvested branches up and hanging them upside down to dry in the sun. Make sure that a mat would catch the dry leaves that would fall off. 10 kilograms of fresh malunggay shrinks to one kilogram when dried, Barrozo said, making dried malunggay richer and more concentrated. It loses its Vitamins A and C content when dried, but it does retain the rest of its nutrients. | |||
Van Tooren recommends taking one tablespoon a day for people who want to stay healthy, and two tablespoons for those suffering from health issues such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. | |||
For pregnant women, she recommends taking three tablespoons a day. Malunggay is also sold as powder, tea, and capsules. | |||
