Please never kill a moringa tree. They are a gift from God. I harvest, dry the leaves, then pulverize into a powder & make my own capsules. No need for store bought vitamins. I am 75 and no medical issues.❤️
Hello Gayla Huerta. Read your comment. It's good to make it at home,as the powder is pure and home made. But from where do you get empty capsules ? Please do let me know as to how much powder is used in filling a capsule ? Also do share from where do you get empty capsules?
Me too Gayla - I have been taking 2 moringa capsules every day for a couple of years now and in the process of doing what you do. I have bought 2 seedlings, a dehydrator, capsules etc. Cant wait to complete the process.
Right! If you cut it to ground then you’ll get multiple branches. Mine froze and now wow it’s a beautiful bush and I already harvested and it comes back fast! Just snap the little leaf branches off. I now planted 10 and gonna plant more. Harvest harvest till the winter comes!
This tree is fully medicinal, from leaves, bark, fruits and roots. It is really a great nutrition supplement, aids with cancer, anemia, heart health, make infusions for lung ailments, and clean skin sores...it is a God sent gift 🙏🏻👍
@@gaylahuerta2443 there's a medical journal about moringa roots which double more powerful than leaf. the leaves itself is so good imagine if it was its roots.. the problem is we need to take a right dosage of it.
@@jagone5672 From your comment it's evident your brain is lacking in the nutrients necessary for it to function. There are literally _dozens_ of scientific papers you can search online where you can clearly - and in detail - learn about the *92 nutrients* contained in *MORINGA,* including *vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fats, sterols, alcohols, ketones, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, fats, acids, alkaloids* and *flavonoids;* it has *46 antioxidants* and *36 anti-inflammatory agents,* thus being even more nutritious than _beef liver_ (another superfood). *MORINGA* has cured my _high blood pressure,_ my mom's _high blood pressure_ as well as her _knee bone,_ and my sister's autoimmune disease called _acne inversa_ (which, by the way, doctors say is incurable). I know of people who have healed from other bad conditions but the point is that *MORINGA* is the best superfood on earth.
This is awesome information. I tried some dried powdered moringa after hearing how it aids the bronchial system. STUFF IS AWESOME!!! Really diminished my sinus issues.
Have you noticed how phenomenal Moringa oleifera boost memory for all age groups? We incorporate the products in almost everything except synthetics but alas over 5 decades we are doing fine even through COVID era, good luck all siblings of our Global Village for our Lord is good.
I don't know which Zone you're in, but if you're in Zones 9-11, your Moringa tree will grow back on it's own after harvesting leaves. Plus it's VERY easy to grow from cuttings than seeds. It's hard to kill a moringa tree in the tropics, my tree grows back crazy fast after harvesting leaves. 🌻
Yes, large branches (truncheons) will root in the ground. Pencil size cuttings also work in perlite. I prefer seed grown as cuttings don't produce strong enough roots for moringa trees in my experience.
I was in Saudi Arabia and I was having this moring's plant. I used it for every thing like coriander or parsley. Even I mix in rice too it taste just wonderful. I collected lots of branches washed and dried and powdered it and brought to India. I use it in all types of dishes and I use in sorbets and other drinks and even with milk honey and moringa powder. It rejuvenate our immune system. I recommend every household should have it.
Me too I never heard about it until today someone told me it help for weight loss so I started surching on google until I found out all the benefits of this miraculous plants 🪴
We consume this almost daily it most grew in a warm climate and tropical contry . It grow more on the country side we cooks as soup and steam with sauces etc…. Very delicious and lots of health benefits 🥰🥰🥰
Be careful. Even superfoods are dangerous to our health if we have too much of it. My brother-in-law just died. Aside from eating moringa in soup, he self-medicated by eating the raw seeds, too. Too much oxalates damaged his kidneys, gave him chronic kidney disease that eventually killed him.
It's an amazing tree, people in India make many delicious curries, fries, soups with almost every part of this tree on an almost daily basis. Extremely Nutritious!!
Maybe the spiciness that you tasted from the moringa leaves are caused by: 1. consuming the leaves raw 2. Overcooking the leaves. NEVER OVERCOOK moringa leaves. The taste is nasty. 3. The very dark green mature leaves tends to have this spicy-like taste. Use the young leaves and shoots if you're going to consume the moringa as a vegetable. And an advice from someone who literally grew up with a moringa tree- moringa is MEANT to use as a fresh vegetable for cooking. The powdered leaves are added in local flour to fortify/add some nutrients to our local bread here (pan de sal). It's true that moringa leaves are often given to lactating mother's diet to enhance milk production. Yes moringa is chockfull of nutrients but not complete. Better consult a dietician/nutrionist/ physician if you wanna introduce moringa into your diet. Oh yeah if you don't know how to cook moringa leaves I suggest you search some Filipino dishes like Tinolang Manok/ Chicken Tinola with Moringa Leaves, Ginisang Munggo/ Savory Sauteed Mung Beans with Moringa Leaves, Snails in Coconut Milk and Moringa Leaves and Sauteed Canned Sardines (in Tomato Sauce) with Moringa. Cheers and good luck to you.
They are amazing and a gift, the drumsticks are great in Lentil curries. Just be careful when picking a location to plant them as you would not believe how aggressive the tap roots are.
in my neighborhood in Phils. there are so many houses with Moringa trees in the yard. I myself have a huge Moringa tree which from time to time I incorporate the leaves and sometimes the young pods in sautéing other vegies. And I have a big leaves photos which really thrives around that tree. and it really grows easy.
This tree is native to the Indian continent and is a part of various Indian cuisines. The name Moringa comes from Tamil/Sinhalese where it is called "murungyikai". Truly a versatile plant and a tree of life. It is also considered an aphrodisiac (maybe a legend).
We call it Malunggay in the Philippines and knowing how Ancient Hindus traveled to Southeast Asia in ancient times I really think there's a link. It was present in the Philippine's pre-colonial era. The Moringa is believed to be very ancient and must have existed during the dinosaur era. Perhaps a plant species from the Garden of Eden.
What benefits do you get from eating the seeds vs the leaves?. I have hypothyroidism, low iron, low folic, thinning dry brittle hair Wondered if it would help with those issues
Am from GHANA and soo many moringa trees has started growing in my garden by itself. I didn't know the benefits of the tree till I watched this video thank you sir😍
Poor children should be fed moringa for proper nutrition and growth. Plant plenty and eat moringa 2-3 times a week. Then hair stop falling, male sexual health, beautiful cheek for women, etc. Anyone in sports should eat moringa for strength and endurance. Add in soup, cook in meat, fry as veggies, or boil as veggies and drink the soup. Etc etc. Free multivitamin. If you have access to abundance of moringa, you don't need to buy multivitamins. Better mental health for poor children. Pass the blessings of moringa. 🎉🎉🎉 Shalom❤️❤️❤️.
Please research this tree and its fruit and seeds benefits! It IA also called The Miracle Tree. With the seeds, one can purify water to drink. One can make tee also from the leaves and eat the fruit. So many blessings!
that story alone deserved a thumbs up :) Last summer, I planted 5 seedlings (Zone 9-A, Arizona). All were killed in the winter. 3 came back when the monsoons hit. Another 1 was in a 10 gallon pot and spent the winter outside, south side of the house and, if frost threatened, it was dragged under the eves. All bloomed last year and bees like them, but no pods! hasta, mano!
@@living2day617 Are you in Arizona? Moringa can take a lot of dry, but where it's from they get heavy mists in the dry months and monsoons for weeks. The beans are eatable, as are the seeds.
I'm in chandler arizona. My moringa tree is 8 years old and reaches heights of 35 to 40 ft tall. One thing I've learned here in Arizona is. They do not like to be in pots. They like to go in the ground right away. They like water for the first year after that, quit watering it. And make sure you cut it back every single winter
Hi Pepe , in Guyana we sautéd the leaves with onions, garlic , salt , pepper and coconut milk it’s very tasty, Guyanese refer to this dish as Sijan bajee . And wait we didn’t stop there 😊 we also used the moringa in fish curry. Very flavourful.
You can also add sardines or tuna and thin slices of unripe papaya fruit after sautéd with onions, pepper and garlic add coconut milk to boil then next the moringa leaves put a little salt to taste and chilli serve hot..
You can cut the branches because it grows agsin with new leaves. If you plant it in the ground it grows like a big tree. We mix it on a soup with fish and chicken.
Good to hear that the Tree Of Life is healing many with diverse ailments and also preventing the hidden ones. Always ensure sourcing of Moringa & herbs as well as spices from reputable supplies. Age is a number as long as you equip yourself with more knowledge in all you do. Please keep the good work up as we in Africa are also supporting interested in mother Africa.
He didn't use the plant properly.Please educate him on how to use moringa.I have used moringa leaves powder,1/2 teaspoonful early in the morning in my tea or porriage for two years now. I am 70yrs but look 50yrs.So please educate those who want to use it.Thanks.
We chopped a tree down around 12 days ago because it shot up to the skies in just a couple short years. The trunk has already put out new leaves. Grows double quick.
Growing up in India , we always had a moringa tree in our garden. We enjoyed the vegetable of this tree called “drum sticks”. My mum use to prepare the vegetable with fresh scraped coconut, and it was so yummy. BUT, unfortunately, we had to chop the tree down coz you get a lot of termites to this tree and gradually these termites get into your homes and attack the wooden furniture etc.. But the moringa leaves are good. Can be made as a vegetable, put in soups etc.
You will need a green house. You could also grow in pots keep them trimmed and small. Bring inside when temperatures drop below 55 degrees F. Easy on the water or you will rot them. Thanks for watching.
Mr Pepe, do U answer questions. I just recieved 4 young trees 18 inches tall. Which is better Full sun or half ?? And should I plan to harvest the small trees, and replant new, every few yrs. ?
Yes the will root from a good sized branch. Sometimes branches tossed around and left on the ground will root and form new trees if undisturbed. Seeds will provide a stronger root system however. Thanks for watching and sharing your comment.
Very true. You can grow from a branch. However I do like seed grown. Because you get the giant tap route to Anchor It in. And it has a stronger root system
Moringa tree /leaves was always on our jungle survival list of natural foods to eat when on long distance patrols. Easy to find and allowed us to carry fewer loads of MERs...saved me nutritionally many times. Now use its oil for skin as cosmetic therapy.
Prior to 2014 we lived in Florida and grew our own Moringa. In 2016 we moved north of the 45th paralle and Moringa do not grow here, (so they say). I found a wonderful company out of Brooksville, FL who sell Moringa seesWe grow them starting from seed (not from our own tree), in April and don't transplant until after the second week of June. Our Moringa are of the miniature type. We grow about a dozen to harvest and 1 in a large pot which enables us to bring "her" inside in early to mid September to weather our winter. Although I dehydrate what we harvest, we have fresh still growing through the winter. It just works for us.
Thank you for this share. I am excited to have found this plant. I am uber flouritoxic which caused metabolic syndrome...amid a host of other health problems. For that reason I search natural healing & food based metabolism remedies. Only found Moringa powder a week ago and already have had modt positive happenings. What are your favorite was to use this? Let me share one powerfully healthy plant usevwithbuou. I too harvest it for wintertime when fresh is not available. Check out health benefits of arugula. Highest scourcen of NO2.
Thank you for posting. I was curious as to why you cut this tree back so severely that you will soon remove it, as I have been pruning my tree to shape it, using the clippings to start new trees or dry and grind the leaves, put into spice shakers for culinary uses. Had it stopped branching and blossoming?
tell us more about this plant and how to grow...i have one and during winters drops all the leaves is that ok?also what the minimun temperature that could tolerate
Yes, they drop leaves in winter. I have had them survive temperatures around 35 degrees F. Mature trees do much better. Some have frozen and die back to the base in Central Florida. They often regrow from the roots and recover in the spring. Colder climates may kill them for sure.
It thins blood, so beware, if you have thrombocytopenia. It lowers blood pressure, so know that, too. It’s got good and bad effects, and if you have liver disease, avoid it. Or low BP. Also I’ve read it affects estrogen hormones.
I have like 10 of these in my backyard here in Texas .. I don’t eat it raw .. I use it along with eggs to make an omelette.. also add it with lentils to make a curry
Growing up in the province of the Philippine, this trees grow everywhere, we would climb it and pick the leafs and fruits out of it. We make it into Soup and with fish.
I am having trouble growing my own Moringa every time they grow a little bit they die is it possible that they can grow indoors?and really don’t know what I am doing wrong please help thank you so much.
That usually happens because they rot. Soil may be too wet or your too dry if in full sun. Start in bright filtered light and slightly moist. When about 8 inches tall then acclimate to full sun. If grown in too deep shade they stretch and get leggy, developing weak trunks. Best wishes.
Question. I had my 1 year old moringa in a pot. Today I want to transplant it into a bigger pot and accidentally broke the tap root. Did I kill my plant or will it crest a new tap root? Any help is greatly appreciated l.
lovedthis video! i have 12 cuttings that need to be transplanted. they are in sand planted about 3in apart and its hot in texas and would i kill them if did this time of year? thank you,
Hope you get answers. We are just outside Dallas and just found out about this so ordered some seeds to give it a try. Would love to know more about caring for them in our area.
@@mnj5089 im very excited too about tis tree,,,some of the cuttings are growing well so as i can take a dailey nibble now, thats why i got 12 cttings…i just moved them into dappled shade yesterday because stress from heat. i ordered seeds also just in case this experiment failed,,,but im getting nice results. let me know what you decide how to plant your eeds ok? im very interrsted…i had to destress my garden from the heaat yesterdaaay and we,ll see how that experiment turns out! lolol, had a fig burning up! we will see.
@@ponderinglife7528 Yes this weather is terrible! We just planted some new figs, blackberries, and a raspberry. Trying our best to get them through all of this heat. My seeds are coming and my plan for now is to plant just 2 or 3 and put those under grow lights inside for now and wait out the heat. Might keep them potting until Spring in fact but will have to see. If they do ok inside, I might start another 2-3 as well. Hoping by next year, the figs and blackberries are more established and will need less babying so we can get these going. Trying to make a smart and somewhat stealthy food forrest. Also bought a bunch of hostas on sale. Had no idea they were edible so really excited to get more of those going too. Stealth food! Just in case all of this gets really crazy. I never thought I'd wonder if I could pressure can any of this....
I have moringa trees here in Florida. I started using the leaves in making puréed greens. Went well at first, but then I got heavy-handed and used way too much one evening for supper. No immediate effect, but I woke up in the middle of the night with my pulse racing and gasping for air. I was back to normal by morning, but now I’m afraid of moringa. Moderation in all things!
I used to live in America for over 30 years. I just moved back home to Africa 4 months ago. The Moringa taste different from the ones in America. I'm thinking about growing my own and selling it world wide.
I boil moringa leave with a few stem attached to the leaves, drained the water to a 40cl bottle. Drank it almost throughout the day, could sleep at night, just as though I took an energy drink, cos I took the whole bottle, just a little was remain. It also hurt me a little on my truth, not much just as though my throat was on fire. But it was fine the next day, at least i woke up early and strong after I slept late a lot of pains left me. But then I would be taken more than 20cl per day. I remember I cook it with ginger and some tumeric, most time without tumeric.
Bet you guys, it's yummy to put on chicken stew. We called the recipe Tinula. Proud to say that it's a lot in my country. Very easy to plant, and maringa loves a sandy soil. Now having my maringa tea
I did something similar, I got a bunch of leaves and put it in a blender and added a cup of water and down the hatch boy I felt sick for a while, will go easy on the dosage
I've tried a couple times to grow from seeds in Chicago. Had 12 inch stalk that died. Can i grow at least 2 foot tree in house since winter is too brutal here?
Sure, but they need lots of sunlight when indoors. You could grow it outdoors in a pot. Bring inside when its too cool. Also it is possible to cut the tree down to the ground and separate the tubers from the soil, Rinse them and dry them a little then store in a drawer for a few months. Replant them in the spring. You keep that cycle going for a while. I will do a video on that soon. Take care.
We love Moringa! Where could we get Moringa Tree in the USA? We live in Las Vegas. Been looking forward to having this plant. We truly love Moringa in the Philippines. I knew about how great Moringa from my father who was a great garden teacher in our home town in Leyte. He won first prize in a national gardening contest in the Philippines in the late ‘50s. He said, a handful of Moringa leaves gives more help to our body than anything else. We grew up eating Moringa & you can make tea out of it, too! Please help me get Moringa tree to plant in Vegas. Thank you!🥰🌺
I don't understand the story...sure he juiced the tree, but WHAT made him have to go to the hospital because of it? The spice level? Please expound on the story
I thought I explained that. He was very itchy and felt extremely warm. Thought he was having a heart attack. That's all he said. Thanks for your question and for viewing the video.
Nice story. Agree too can cause a demise of a human. Moringa is one of the must-grow traditional plants for Tamils in Tamil Nadu , South India and diaspora arnd the world like Msia, Sumatra. We grewup on it - mum cooked it with grated coconut flakes and onions and bits of tempering spice to kill off the bittery radishy taste . Goodluck to planting more of it
it caused me allergy, my mother cooked it with dal for lunch and i ate it, after 10 minutes itching ocurred, i ignored and went to sleep, by the time i woke up, my body is fully covered with red bumbs and is fully itchy and in 4 minutes i loose coniousness and fell down then my sister poured salt water into my mouth, then all that undigested moringa came out in form of vomit, then within few minutes i became normall
here in the philippines ..we used it for our chicken soup...there is a lot of benefits u can have with this leave more especially its fruit that we also use to cook with squash and string beans with some pork...its also best for those who are in breast feeding..it helps alot.
Mr Pepe this tree is AMAZING! I've wanted to grow a drumstick tree for so long now. How did you start it and where should I get seeds? I looked at your website and you're all sold out of everything but passionfruit which is tempting lol dang
It really is a great medicinal tree. I don't sell seeds but plants are found all over the internet and in many local nurseries. Thanks for watching and for your comments.
I am an Indian residing in Malaysia,my forefathers have been using moringa leaves,drumstick ever since and I know you could grow from its branches,its easily grown.
I have been taking moringa for a few years now. I no longer have high blood pressure and I don't deal with blood sugar roller coaster anymore. And i just mentally feel good. Will never quit taking it.
It grows tall very quickly. I trim the tree once in awhile when offshoots come out from the main trunk. You have to do this to get some nice new leaves which are sweeter compared to the older leaves. Very nutritious! I add Moringa leaves to my lentil soup.
Be careful if you are on thyroid hormones. I had a cardiovascular collapse with electrical block in my heart as Moringa blocks the conversion of inactive into the active form of thyroid hormone. But advisable to take if you are diabetic or have high blood pressure, or over-function of your thyroid. I started putting raw leaves into the food of my senior German shepherd and he is much more active, also mentally.
A 3 gal tree about 4-5 foot tall can average about $35.00 but these days probably a bit more. They are easy to grow from seeds and fast too! Thanks for visiting and commenting.
@@portiasnyder1812 Most people order seeds and grow them. Google moringa seeds. Most nurseries sell them but it depends on your location. You can also order them online.
You were informative and entertaining! I use the Maringa powder, but would like to try the fresh. The powder, At least, it's a bit hard to digest in the beginning, start at a half teaspoon, and can work your way up to 2 teaspoons, Or was it 2 tablespoons, sorry not remembering.
One question, I bought a bag of moringa powder and I'm preparing it with water and a tablespoon of moringa but when I mix it it smells bad like cow poop. Is that normal?

Eating Moringa RAW is more nutritious and healthier. Cooking it destroys the nutritional value of anything.
We just add fresh or dried to about anything. If cooked, when soup/stew is one, then add the leaves. Same for many greens.
When leaves are left to rot in water, it stinks to high heavens, like meat...could be because of high nutritional content like protein?

Poor children should be fed moringa for proper nutrition and growth.
Plant plenty and eat moringa 2-3 times a week. Then hair stop falling, male sexual health, beautiful cheek for women, etc. Anyone in sports should eat moringa for strength and endurance.
Add in soup, cook in meat, fry as veggies, or boil as veggies and drink the soup. Etc etc.
Free multivitamin. If you have access to abundance of moringa, you don't need to buy multivitamins.
Better mental health for poor children.
Pass the blessings of moringa. 🎉🎉🎉
Shalom❤️❤️❤️.
Vita are you the vida I met in Accra earlier this year.
Please research this tree and its fruit and seeds benefits! It IA also called The Miracle Tree. With the seeds, one can purify water to drink. One can make tee also from the leaves and eat the fruit. So many blessings!
@@junevivion2703 hello ! Can you share the secret of Purifying Water with Moringa Seeds.
@@rewachadha802 I will have to research it to be correct in sharing how.
that story alone deserved a thumbs up :) Last summer, I planted 5 seedlings (Zone 9-A, Arizona). All were killed in the winter. 3 came back when the monsoons hit. Another 1 was in a 10 gallon pot and spent the winter outside, south side of the house and, if frost threatened, it was dragged under the eves. All bloomed last year and bees like them, but no pods! hasta, mano!
@@living2day617 Are you in Arizona? Moringa can take a lot of dry, but where it's from they get heavy mists in the dry months and monsoons for weeks. The beans are eatable, as are the seeds.

I'm in chandler arizona. My moringa tree is 8 years old and reaches heights of 35 to 40 ft tall. One thing I've learned here in Arizona is. They do not like to be in pots. They like to go in the ground right away. They like water for the first year after that, quit watering it. And make sure you cut it back every single winter
Hi Pepe , in Guyana we sautéd the leaves with onions, garlic , salt , pepper and coconut milk it’s very tasty, Guyanese refer to this dish as Sijan bajee . And wait we didn’t stop there 😊 we also used the moringa in fish curry. Very flavourful.
I am going to try some of that dish. Sounds good. Thanks for watching.
@@Pepesplants Go right ahead pep , I think you will find it on Matthews Guyanese Cooking or Being Rocky.
You can also add sardines or tuna and thin slices of unripe papaya fruit after sautéd with onions, pepper and garlic add coconut milk to boil then next the moringa leaves put a little salt to taste and chilli serve hot..
@@aldscanto6684 Wow. Sounds yum! 😋
What about the seeds should they be eaten ?
You can cut the branches because it grows agsin with new leaves. If you plant it in the ground it grows like a big tree. We mix it on a soup with fish and chicken.
Good to hear that the Tree Of Life is healing many with diverse ailments and also preventing the hidden ones. Always ensure sourcing of Moringa & herbs as well as spices from reputable supplies. Age is a number as long as you equip yourself with more knowledge in all you do. Please keep the good work up as we in Africa are also supporting interested in mother Africa.
He didn't use the plant properly.Please educate him on how to use moringa.I have used moringa leaves powder,1/2 teaspoonful early in the morning in my tea or porriage for two years now. I am 70yrs but look 50yrs.So please educate those who want to use it.Thanks.
In Philippines we usually cooked Moringa leaves as our food. We mixed it in our chicken soup. It's delicious and healthy food.
How do you not overcook it?
@@CheezNrice4uif you are cooking a soup dish add moringa leaves cover for a minute its done.

We chopped a tree down around 12 days ago because it shot up to the skies in just a couple short years. The trunk has already put out new leaves. Grows double quick.
Growing up in India , we always had a moringa tree in our garden. We enjoyed the vegetable of this tree called “drum sticks”. My mum use to prepare the vegetable with fresh scraped coconut, and it was so yummy. BUT, unfortunately, we had to chop the tree down coz you get a lot of termites to this tree and gradually these termites get into your homes and attack the wooden furniture etc..
But the moringa leaves are good. Can be made as a vegetable, put in soups etc.
Can you share the recipe of moringa and coconut? Thank you. CARMEN LIEDKE
@@carmenliedke8659 saute onion and shredded coconut and add moringa leaves to it , add little turmeric powder and salt to taste !! Thats it ! Enjoy
Will Moringa tree grow and thrive in Edmonton-(AB) Canada like snowy climate.Plz reply as I am a great fan of this trees' nutrient value.
You will need a green house. You could also grow in pots keep them trimmed and small. Bring inside when temperatures drop below 55 degrees F. Easy on the water or you will rot them. Thanks for watching.
the young moringa pods are so goood.
Mr Pepe, do U answer questions. I just recieved 4 young trees 18 inches tall. Which is better Full sun or half ?? And should I plan to harvest the small trees, and replant new, every few yrs. ?
Full sun is best. Acclimate them slowly over a week if started in shade. Move them out a little closer to increased light so they don't stress out.
No need to plant a moringa seed. You can cut a moringa branch and put in soil. It will grow soon
Yes the will root from a good sized branch. Sometimes branches tossed around and left on the ground will root and form new trees if undisturbed. Seeds will provide a stronger root system however. Thanks for watching and sharing your comment.
Very true. You can grow from a branch. However I do like seed grown. Because you get the giant tap route to Anchor It in. And it has a stronger root system
I absolutely totally agree with you of how wonderful about moringa , bcoz I use to grow up with my parents with full of moringa plants around .
Thanks for sharing
I love the moringa spiciness. It's a lot like the nasturtium spiciness. Absolutely delish!
Videos about this tree have started popping up, so I am learning about this tree. Thank You for sharing!!!
My pleasure.
It’s also a really good tea! Tulsi moringa is my favorite tea!
Moringa tree /leaves was always on our jungle survival list of natural foods to eat when on long distance patrols.
Easy to find and allowed us to carry fewer loads of MERs...saved me nutritionally many times. Now use its oil for skin as cosmetic therapy.
Prior to 2014 we lived in Florida and grew our own Moringa. In 2016 we moved north of the 45th paralle and Moringa do not grow here, (so they say). I found a wonderful company out of Brooksville, FL who sell Moringa seesWe grow them starting from seed (not from our own tree), in April and don't transplant until after the second week of June. Our Moringa are of the miniature type. We grow about a dozen to harvest and 1 in a large pot which enables us to bring "her" inside in early to mid September to weather our winter. Although I dehydrate what we harvest, we have fresh still growing through the winter. It just works for us.
Thank you for this share. I am excited to have found this plant. I am uber flouritoxic which caused metabolic syndrome...amid a host of other health problems. For that reason I search natural healing & food based metabolism remedies.
Only found Moringa powder a week ago and already have had modt positive happenings.
What are your favorite was to use this? Let me share one powerfully healthy plant usevwithbuou. I too harvest it for wintertime when fresh is not available. Check out health benefits of arugula. Highest scourcen of NO2.
Do you remember the name of the company? I would need to grow one in a pot (AZ).
Lots of moringa here in the Philippines and I use it often.
As a Filipino, we love to use moringga for soup.....specially chicken soup with papaya or zuccini and morningga leaves...
Sounds great!
@@Pepesplants how much water does it need in a pot grown
My favorite sir, very helpful for good diet and flat tummy, it's like a detox
Thank you for posting. I was curious as to why you cut this tree back so severely that you will soon remove it, as I have been pruning my tree to shape it, using the clippings to start new trees or dry and grind the leaves, put into spice shakers for culinary uses. Had it stopped branching and blossoming?
You need not destroy the plant.. Ouch?
tell us more about this plant and how to grow...i have one and during winters drops all the leaves is that ok?also what the minimun temperature that could tolerate
Yes, they drop leaves in winter. I have had them survive temperatures around 35 degrees F. Mature trees do much better. Some have frozen and die back to the base in Central Florida. They often regrow from the roots and recover in the spring. Colder climates may kill them for sure.
@@Pepesplants so would recommend to put them inside?or make a construction to keep them safe or they will drop anyway below 10C for example?
@@ABCD15334 ive seen a few videos where people cut them back and or create a cage around and stuff with leaf to help protect if it is very cold.
Moringa bears a long fruit we call it saijan in the Caribbean, you can you it your soups or even curry with rice
It thins blood, so beware, if you have thrombocytopenia. It lowers blood pressure, so know that, too. It’s got good and bad effects, and if you have liver disease, avoid it. Or low BP. Also I’ve read it affects estrogen hormones.
Hi. Can you explain the affect on the liver?
Effects of estrogen too? Good or bad?
Bull crap!!
Moringa is natural healing tree.
@@judyhowell7075I read it helps to balance hormones. So if you take hormones, Im guessing it could effect the way your medicine works.
I’ve heard it helps with liver function.
I have like 10 of these in my backyard here in Texas .. I don’t eat it raw .. I use it along with eggs to make an omelette.. also add it with lentils to make a curry
I’m in Conroe, Tx…where can I get seeds to try to grow a moringa tree?
I got mine Saturday at the farmers market at valley ranch new caney. $16 I think. Mendez's Gardens is all I know.
I have one five inches high from seed but plan to grow many more.
Morengga one of my favorite green leafy vegetable, l know it very well so much use on our health & body.
I like your senses of humor
Hello po, we have many moringa or malunggay tree here in the Philippines. Indeed, there's many uses of the leaves itself, a very powerful tree.
Moringa also bear a long fruit. you can peel it like a string bean and you add to your cooking.
Are Moringa leaves contain the oxalic acid as Spanish which is not good for kideny stones?
Sir, plz tell me how to identify edible moringa from non edible , some people say there are many non edible variety of this plant..
We grow this a lot in Philippines. And we cook this with chicken soup called, tinola 😊
very nice and tasty and that's all I do with its leaves, the pods, well, peel, chop into 2 1/2 03 3 inches and mix with other veges
Growing up in the province of the Philippine, this trees grow everywhere, we would climb it and pick the leafs and fruits out of it. We make it into Soup and with fish.
Where I came from, I eat moringa since I was a kid (kamunggay-Biasaya ,Malunngay-tagalog ) but we didn't eat raw we put it in different kind of soup .
We add it in fish soups with lemon grass. We call it "tinola". Very nutritious food!
I am having trouble growing my own Moringa every time they grow a little bit they die is it possible that they can grow indoors?and really don’t know what I am doing wrong please help thank you so much.
That usually happens because they rot. Soil may be too wet or your too dry if in full sun. Start in bright filtered light and slightly moist. When about 8 inches tall then acclimate to full sun. If grown in too deep shade they stretch and get leggy, developing weak trunks. Best wishes.
Have a moringa tree for 3 yrs, lots of leaves & flowers, BUT no drumsticks, keen to see how they look like ?
Question. I had my 1 year old moringa in a pot. Today I want to transplant it into a bigger pot and accidentally broke the tap root. Did I kill my plant or will it crest a new tap root? Any help is greatly appreciated l.
It wont grow back but that's okay in a pot. In the ground the tree would be weaker.
In Indian where I am from, we cook the leaves like spinach and eat them. It is a staple in India. Had one in my backyard.
It helps with rheumatoid arthritis pain. I use it.
Super hi
I have a tree an I picked the leaves dried it an used it when I can to drink
lovedthis video! i have 12 cuttings that need to be transplanted. they are in sand planted about 3in apart and its hot in texas and would i kill them if did this time of year? thank you,
Hope you get answers. We are just outside Dallas and just found out about this so ordered some seeds to give it a try. Would love to know more about caring for them in our area.
@@mnj5089 im very excited too about tis tree,,,some of the cuttings are growing well so as i can take a dailey nibble now, thats why i got 12 cttings…i just moved them into dappled shade yesterday because stress from heat. i ordered seeds also just in case this experiment failed,,,but im getting nice results. let me know what you decide how to plant your eeds ok? im very interrsted…i had to destress my garden from the heaat yesterdaaay and we,ll see how that experiment turns out! lolol, had a fig burning up! we will see.
@@ponderinglife7528 Yes this weather is terrible! We just planted some new figs, blackberries, and a raspberry. Trying our best to get them through all of this heat. My seeds are coming and my plan for now is to plant just 2 or 3 and put those under grow lights inside for now and wait out the heat. Might keep them potting until Spring in fact but will have to see. If they do ok inside, I might start another 2-3 as well. Hoping by next year, the figs and blackberries are more established and will need less babying so we can get these going. Trying to make a smart and somewhat stealthy food forrest. Also bought a bunch of hostas on sale. Had no idea they were edible so really excited to get more of those going too. Stealth food! Just in case all of this gets really crazy. I never thought I'd wonder if I could pressure can any of this....
People always exaggerate with everything they think that if a little bit is good then a large amount must be better. Everything in moderation.
I have moringa trees here in Florida. I started using the leaves in making puréed greens. Went well at first, but then I got heavy-handed and used way too much one evening for supper. No immediate effect, but I woke up in the middle of the night with my pulse racing and gasping for air. I was back to normal by morning, but now I’m afraid of moringa. Moderation in all things!
I used to live in America for over 30 years. I just moved back home to Africa 4 months ago. The Moringa taste different from the ones in America. I'm thinking about growing my own and selling it world wide.
Do it. Seems like a solid business to me.
I boil moringa leave with a few stem attached to the leaves, drained the water to a 40cl bottle.
Drank it almost throughout the day, could sleep at night, just as though I took an energy drink, cos I took the whole bottle, just a little was remain.
It also hurt me a little on my truth, not much just as though my throat was on fire.
But it was fine the next day, at least i woke up early and strong after I slept late a lot of pains left me.
But then I would be taken more than 20cl per day.
I remember I cook it with ginger and some tumeric, most time without tumeric.
Glad your okay. Need to respect the tree and use carefully. Thanks for your comments.
thank you my friend. i see why ppl are going to the hospital. they are consuming too much
FROM SEEDS, HOW LONG BEFORE YOU CAN HARVEST? WHY NOT PLANT FROM CUTTINGS LIKE BRANCHES? THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU MARANATHA
Cuttings produce weak roots. Seeds can produce pods in a year.
Where may I buy the moringa tree, or the seeds to grow one?
Mixed moringa with oyster mushroom and bamboo shot, wow! Delicious.
Bet you guys, it's yummy to put on chicken stew. We called the recipe Tinula. Proud to say that it's a lot in my country. Very easy to plant, and maringa loves a sandy soil. Now having my maringa tea
I did something similar, I got a bunch of leaves and put it in a blender and added a cup of water and down the hatch boy I felt sick for a while, will go easy on the dosage
Live an learn. Take care and thanks for watching.
I've tried a couple times to grow from seeds in Chicago. Had 12 inch stalk that died. Can i grow at least 2 foot tree in house since winter is too brutal here?
Sure, but they need lots of sunlight when indoors. You could grow it outdoors in a pot. Bring inside when its too cool. Also it is possible to cut the tree down to the ground and separate the tubers from the soil, Rinse them and dry them a little then store in a drawer for a few months. Replant them in the spring. You keep that cycle going for a while. I will do a video on that soon. Take care.
For sure The Tree of Life 🌴
We love Moringa! Where could we get Moringa Tree in the USA? We live in Las Vegas. Been looking forward to having this plant. We truly love Moringa in the Philippines. I knew about how great Moringa from my father who was a great garden teacher in our home town in Leyte. He won first prize in a national gardening contest in the Philippines in the late ‘50s. He said, a handful of Moringa leaves gives more help to our body than anything else. We grew up eating Moringa & you can make tea out of it, too! Please help me get Moringa tree to plant in Vegas. Thank you!🥰🌺
I know that Baker Creek sells the seeds. I have had good luck with them.
I don't understand the story...sure he juiced the tree, but WHAT made him have to go to the hospital because of it? The spice level? Please expound on the story
I thought I explained that. He was very itchy and felt extremely warm. Thought he was having a heart attack. That's all he said. Thanks for your question and for viewing the video.
Great video, with a great message, respect the moringa tree! Haha, well done Pepe!
Nice story. Agree too can cause a demise of a human. Moringa is one of the must-grow traditional plants for Tamils in Tamil Nadu , South India and diaspora arnd the world like Msia, Sumatra. We grewup on it - mum cooked it with grated coconut flakes and onions and bits of tempering spice to kill off the bittery radishy taste . Goodluck to planting more of it
it caused me allergy, my mother cooked it with dal for lunch and i ate it, after 10 minutes itching ocurred, i ignored and went to sleep, by the time i woke up, my body is fully covered with red bumbs and is fully itchy and in 4 minutes i loose coniousness and fell down then my sister poured salt water into my mouth, then all that undigested moringa came out in form of vomit, then within few minutes i became normall
What is the right dosage on daily consumption?
here in the philippines ..we used it for our chicken soup...there is a lot of benefits u can have with this leave more especially its fruit that we also use to cook with squash and string beans with some pork...its also best for those who are in breast feeding..it helps alot.
😍
Mr Pepe this tree is AMAZING! I've wanted to grow a drumstick tree for so long now. How did you start it and where should I get seeds? I looked at your website and you're all sold out of everything but passionfruit which is tempting lol dang
It really is a great medicinal tree. I don't sell seeds but plants are found all over the internet and in many local nurseries. Thanks for watching and for your comments.
Moringa seeds can be found easily on the internet, even on Amazon. and the trees are very easy to grow from seeds.
Baker seeds for dwarf moringa.
@@juliebutler8241 I never buy baker seeds, they're trash in both germination and politics
I am an Indian residing in Malaysia,my forefathers have been using moringa leaves,drumstick ever since and I know you could grow from its branches,its easily grown.
how can you tell between black locus vs moringa tree
I have been taking moringa for a few years now. I no longer have high blood pressure and I don't deal with blood sugar roller coaster anymore. And i just mentally feel good. Will never quit taking it.
It grows tall very quickly. I trim the tree once in awhile when offshoots come out from the main trunk. You have to do this to get some nice new leaves which are sweeter compared to the older leaves. Very nutritious! I add Moringa leaves to my lentil soup.
Thanks for the tips!
What is the best moringa powder brand to buy?
The best is the one you make from the tree yourself. I really don't have a brand to recommend sorry.
Be careful if you are on thyroid hormones. I had a cardiovascular collapse with electrical block in my heart as Moringa blocks the conversion of inactive into the active form of thyroid hormone.
But advisable to take if you are diabetic or have high blood pressure, or over-function of your thyroid.
I started putting raw leaves into the food of my senior German shepherd and he is much more active, also mentally.
Thanks for your input. Glad to have you share your thoughts with us.
You had a heart attack from moringa???
Thanks for the video. What is the price for a tree like that?
A 3 gal tree about 4-5 foot tall can average about $35.00 but these days probably a bit more. They are easy to grow from seeds and fast too! Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Where doo you buy it ?
@@portiasnyder1812 Most people order seeds and grow them. Google moringa seeds. Most nurseries sell them but it depends on your location. You can also order them online.
@@Pepesplants thank you I will look into it
I am drinking moringa tea while i am watching. Thank you.
What zones do they grow in?
Would not recommend juicing leaves based on my experience, will make you light headed, nauseous, and give you the runs all day
How much did you use
In East Timor, marungai just a wild tree no need spwcial treatemen
It will grow very fast and healthy
You were informative and entertaining! I use the Maringa powder, but would like to try the fresh. The powder, At least, it's a bit hard to digest in the beginning, start at a half teaspoon, and can work your way up to 2 teaspoons, Or was it 2 tablespoons, sorry not remembering.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video.
Don't eat much. Two or three leaves are enough.
One question, I bought a bag of moringa powder and I'm preparing it with water and a tablespoon of moringa but when I mix it it smells bad like cow poop. Is that normal?
Not normal. Return it!
I used to live in America for over 30 years. I just moved back home to Africa 4 months ago. The Moringa taste different from the ones in America. I'm thinking about growing my own and selling it world wide.
