How to Eat Moringa Leaves
Of all of the questions we have received, about Moringa, the
second most asked question is:
"How do you eat the leaves?" Here is the answer:
You eat Moringa leaves, as you eat any other "greens".
Moringa leaves
in Tossed Salads
Moringa leaves in Homemade Breads
Moringa leaves
in Soups
Brown Rice with Moringa leaves
Moringa leaves
in Lasagna

in Cole Slaw

The "rule of thumb" on eating Moringa leaves, is this - add them to your hot dishes about 2 to 3 minutes before you plan to eat. That way, you get the most nutrition from the leaves, before excess heat destroys some of the vitamins, and all of the enzymes.
Forget doing that, if you are going to incorporate the leaves into any baked goods, but it works well when you are adding it to soups and grains, or to any other dish that is cooked, rather than baked.
We do that with the DRIED LEAVES,
TOO!
We especially like Moringa leaves added right at the end of the cooking time, when we are eating quinoa, teff, brown rice, chia, amaranth, wild rice,
oatmeal, wheat, or any other grains
or seeds.
