I have been taking the Moringa capsules now for a while, they healed me from urinary infections & a lot of other stuff I was tired of dealing with, since a teenager, this stuff is awesome
We use to eat moringa leaves boiled in rice water and fried fish or any seafood especially crabs n so on... Because we lived near the sea. Drumsticks also is good for our body. It heal the injury faster. Cookin in daal is bestest and very tasty.
We in Tamil Nadu, India, know the secrets of this Murungai. You can see, each and every house have atleast one tree, except in cities. There is a proverb in Tamil, one Murungai Tree and a one milk giving cow, is enough to live in the World peacefully
I am glad to hear these things. What we in India ate for centuries is suddenly recognised by the West as Superfood. Turmeric. Mangosteen. Garcinia and now Moringa !! These foods are an absolute staple and essential part of everyday meals. Especially in the southern parts of India. moringa grows wild all over. There is probably over a 100 recipe's to make with moringa leaves, pods or flowers.
This has been a staple in the Philippines so you don’t need to bring it there. We already know about it. Manny Pacquiao has his own drink from that plant for decades now.
You made 2000 individuals or families healthier by selling those Moringa trees and definitely millions more through this video. Great work and thanks for this video.
I have about 30 moringa trees growing on our property in Southern California, we have been growing it for 7 years now, we have experienced many health benefits from moringa!!!
Ang malungay or moringa plants ay malaking tulong sa aking kalusogan. Mula sa bata pa ako yan gulay na palaging ginagamit ng mother ko para ihalo sa aming ulam kahit ngayon malungay parin ang paborito ko halos araw2 yan ang ginamit ko bilang aking vitamins kaya cguro hanggang ngayon malakas pa rin ako kahit 73 years old na ako ...sa awa ng Panginoon wala akong sakit na aking kinatakutan dahil very careful din ako sa aking mga kinakain at nagtiwala din ako sa Panginoon na gabayan nya ako sa lahat ng oras.
Moringa is a very traditional leafy veggie here in Kerala, South India. We make salads, curries and so many other dishes with moringa leaves, flowers and pods. The pods goes really well with fish curry.
Bro, now only you know about moringa tree, for decades, most important to Indians, not only in Kerala ,all over south India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia ,s,pore,where ever there are indians this murugai tree is planted. ,the whole tree is useful,even the bark has great medicinal value..flowers, leaves, drumsticks, stem's etc.only tree helps when no vegetables,available at shops ,market at this difficult moments of lockdown time, we are vegan, I have 2 trees at my backyard.. I thank nature ,n God.. for everything.
cook it with fresh coconut milk and add some left over fried fish or fresh shrimp or crab and u got urself a perfect meal... "malungay" here in the Philippines..
We call it murungakeerai. I absolutely love this. I think almost every Indian child's grandmother has one in their yard and our grandmothers used to distribute the herbs and the drumsticks to the surrounding people and her families. It's so weird it used to be considered as a poor man's food and we all used to eat this all the time and now it's so famous and the whole world is consuming it in all forms as juices, shots, pills and powders and not just as a sabzi with roti or in a dal with rice😂.
This is an awesome plant. You can eat it. You can feed it to your farm animals. It will actually change the face of food production. It will feed your soil. Your animals and yourself. Game changer
Yup my ancestors been growing and eating maringa for century’s in the Philippines, my parents farm land and I grow it myself here in the desert of Las Vegas and it grows n grow lols maringa soup, rice and fish alll dayy errday! Keep up with the great contents I learned a lot from you! 🤙🏽
US expat in Nicaragua..have these in our yard. My Mexican son-in-law eats from them and I am going to. Thanks all..enjoyed the comments..yet another gift from the earth that many enjoy☺
Try to cook tinolang manok with moringa Philippines recipe's it's delicious.,.with lemon grass...ang green papaya with chicken with green chillies good for winter a delicious soup 🍲...
I've been growing them in south Alabama which is not quite as tropical as central Florida (where this video was filmed). I've discovered some tips that might help people who are growing them outside a tropical area. In the winter they go dormant. They can tolerate light frosts where it barely dips below freezing for short periods. While dormant, they are extremely vulnerable to waterlogged soil. The roots will rot and turn to mush if they stay wet while dormant. We get heavy rains here in the winter and maybe a third to half of my moringa trees that are planted in the ground die from that because our soil here doesn't drain well. If they survive the first year's winter, they are likely to survive the second, third, etc. It's best to have them in well drained soil. It's a lot of work, but if you dig a hole and replace it with a mixture of potting mix and perlite, you'll end up with a soil that drains very well. It'll make a much more vigorous tree. A moringa tree planted in poorly drained soil may take several years to establish itself well enough to grow large each year. The roots are sometimes very slow to come out of dormancy. Some moringas may come out in April while others don't come out until July. And some seem to get stuck permanently in dormancy and die. I think soil temperature is key. Even when the air is hot, the soil can be cool and as a tropical plant I suspect the moringa likes warm soil. Putting rocks or bricks near the base of the tree might help heat the soil and accelerate the tree coming out of dormancy. I've tried this and it SEEMS like it MIGHT work, but it's hard to tell. One winterizing trick I've discovered is to pile mulch high enough around them to protect some of the trunk. This mulch has to be really deep. Do this BEFORE it starts getting close to freezing for the best results. You'll likely need to cut your tree much shorter than it currently is in order to get the cage in place and you don't want to do that during near freezing weather if you can help it as the tree might not be able to heal before going dormant. I have built cylindrical cages from chicken wire, staked them in place around the trunk of the tree, then piled the cage high with pine straw. Make sure that the trunk is near the center of the pine straw. Use a good quality chicken wire or perhaps some other type of fencing. You don't want it flopping all over the place in the wind. It needs to be staked in place for that reason. Make the cylinder at least a foot and a half in diameter. I'd recommend two feet (or more if you have enough pinestraw). In the spring, when all danger of frost is gone, uncover the still living trunk. Sunlight hitting the living moringa trunk will bring it out of dormancy earlier than normal and provide it with a much longer growing season. You may get seed pods if your trees get enough of a headstart in the spring. The larger trunk you tend to get out of this is conducive to branching, making a bushier tree, rather than a tall, spindly tree. If the tree has to come up from the roots every year, it's not going to be as big or vigorous as a tree with a preserved section of trunk. I plant seeds indoors in pots in mid-winter. Any moringa that died over the winter get replaced by these little trees. I also grow some of my best moringas in 18 gallon containers. If you're doing this on the cheap, buy those $5 tubs from Walmart. The black ones are the most resistant to UV light. They'll last a few years, but eventually sunlight will destroy them. I drill holes roughly a third of the way up the side of the tubs (measured from the bottom) for drainage. This creates a reservoir below the holes and allows good drainage above. A more expensive but durable option is plastic cattle troughs. Really if you're going to that much trouble you might as well excavate a hole and fill it with your own soil mixture and grow them in the ground. Cattle troughs are pricey. I like to dry the leaves on low heat in the oven and then put them trough a coffee grinder to powder them. Store the powder in a dark, preferably cool place to maintain certain nutrients.
Very informative, thank you . How about terra pretta biochar. Bio char holds water and nutrients to my understanding, will this mix make the roots to wet in the winter? I’m on the panhandle area probably same plant zone as you are, again thank you for the tips . Where can I get this tree btw. I’d like to give it a try this year.
Moringa powder has saved my health. I had terrible arthritis. After taking a couple of teaspoons in juice each day the inflammation all went away. No more arthritis and that was 6 months ago.
here in the Philippines, we love putting Moringa leaves as a toppings on our Chicken Tinola. At least one household has a tree and the whole neighborhood asks some stem leaves at least several times a week.
Better late than never. Just found this one. I have eight seedlings started and my kids are already tasting the leaves. Seems that the more mature leaves have less "horse radish" effect. Thanks to everyone for all the references to dishes that it can be used in I like to use my super-foods in dishes for my family. I find so many things that grow well with less effort and pests from my ethnic friends. Keep up the good work. Variety is the spice of life and it keeps the bugs confused!
Moringa grows from crafting as well. It has a fruit called drumstick which when cooked with lentils, is delicious as soup. The leaves are better when cooked.... butter on a pan, chopped shallots &garlic, chilli flakes saute then add moringa leaves...sprinkle water, cover simmer.it is ready. You can have with grill fish. ( Leaves are easy to cook when after the branches are snapped, leave them in room temperature, the leaves wither after two hours )
The leaves of moringa also contain the flavanoid Quercitin. It is an antioxidant, but more importantly it can induce cell autophagy. Best to be careful, this can have powerful impacts. But triggering autophagy a few times a year can be very healthy. Like fasting.
We have one Growing Great and blooming on our deck in Southern Oregon in a big pot here at the end of September! In the Winter I bring them in like a houseplant next to a Southern facing window. Dies back a little by the end of winter but recovers amazingly, we love the taste some of our friends think it’s too spicy, I eat some everyday and have noticed a big difference in my health! Thank you for still spreading the word about Moringa. Everyone needs to grow it or at least buy some dried powder and share with their friends and family.
Biggest mistake with Moringa is too much water! Also exposing them to too cold of temperature. They can grow in very poor soil, we provide great soil with a little from our compost pile. Our biggest one about 6 feet bloomed again this year and produced tiny pods but they died off, so Oregon is not the place to get pods with the seeds, but the leaves are a great snack as your walking around the garden in the Summer.
I have two just started a year ago in my yard (Southern California) and we have harvested once already! It was delicious in chicken tenola. The extra leaves, my wife freezed it. I had problems getting the branches started early on but removing all the blooms solved my problem. Now I'm ready to harvest again before the cold snap in winter. In our Cebu dialect we call it Kamunggay! Some folks back home stick branches of Kamunggay close together in a line and Before you know it -- you have a beautiful living fence!
I'am from the Philippines and Moringa is well known vegetable tree there, everyone likes Moringa. Even I live in Florida now, I planted some moringa and I like it a lot.
I started a Moringa tree farm in Myakka Florida. I swear by the health benefits of the leaves. I make the powder and capsules. I personally drink it in loose leaf tea form. No sugar or honey just dried lemongrass or ginger. It helps control my type 2 diabetes.
@@chandrasekhar4087 In this vlog they discussed about the leafs of Moringa , the nutrition facts of Moringa leafs , tablets made out of Moringa leafs or consumption of Moringa leafs . But , in Bangladesh we do not consume leafs of Moringa . We consume the vegetable Moringa , in Bengali Moringa is called Sajna . OMG Moringa is not a national treasure in Bangladesh . But , it's a good idea to consider Moringa as a national treasure , because thus you evaluate the nutritional values of Moringa .
@@KamrulIslam-dc1zn Good that you consider good ideas as a national treasure. This is the essence of Hinduism, accept light (wisdom) from wherever it comes. Mulaga is definitely a wonder plant. Use it or perish. We use it almost daily in some or other form.
@@chandrasekhar4087 About the Moringa , we the people of Bangladesh did not know about the nutritional values of Moringa until some news media reported about the nutritional values of Moringa . The people of India are wise and have the knowledge and wisdom to utilize the things of nature for the welfare of people . The Hindu religion is a religion of wisdom and knowledge .
One of my favorite!nutritious and healthy. Many uses in the kitchen and even for lactating mothers. Can be use in bread like pan de sal. I have planted many in my front lawn since it is easy to grow and low maintenance...but my own personal favorite is adding it to cook tinola. It is called "malunggay" over here
Im a Fiji Indian and we have been eating this for 100s of years - we call it Saijan. Its used in soups, dhal, and eaten on its own as bhaji with roti. Pods are used in dhal soups.
Hei mister Perkenalkan saya Harum saya berasal dari indonesia, jika mister membutuhkan kelor/moringa, saya ada banyak moringa, satu minggu saya ready 10ton moringga kering siap giling, trimakasih
Thanks for uploading this video. This tree leaves have more irons and to more vitamins also. It’s give awesome taste. In Tamil we called it as Murungai Maram (tree).
I am from Kerala, India and we called this plant as Muringa . We have been using this for centuries. Our forefathers realized the nutritional factors long time ago.
Munagaku in telugu we have 4 trees and it gives many drumsticks it contains multiple medical resources it is very useful thanks to God for giving such a good plant in southern India
I am from India and I am used to drumsticks and 'moringa' leaves. It fruits only once a year. It grows as a wild plant, but we never knew that we could trim it like shown in this youtube. This is easy to manage.
Moringa fruit commonly know as drum sticks or in North India it is locally known as *sehjan ki fali* , also used in South Indian dishes. This tree blooms almost throughout the year, it's flowers are also edible.
I think it’s worth mentioning that moringa looks scraggly the first couple years but it seems if hard pruned yearly it really starts to fill out and look nice usually by third year.
yes and not all seeds are the same. I bought a big bag of seeds to eat and decided to try and grow some. They all got about 8" tall max and looked bad.. Eventually they all died. I tried this for 2 years in a row. Then I thought maybe the seeds were bad. So I bought 5 seeds from someone on eBay and they have all sprouted and seem to be looking much better than the other batch. Just transplanted on into a larger pot.. So they must radiate or do something to some of the seeds sold to eat so you can't grow your own. I was gonna sprout a bunch and plant them along the railroad tracks near my house for emergency food.
Knowledge Will Increase I agree. I planted 10 seeds in one area. Nine of the trees had about a one inch diameter by the end of the season. One had a five inch diameter. Some just take off!
I'm living in Jamaica and it grows well here too I have two growing in my backyard and I've harvested so many seeds. My dad also have 5 trees as well. We have moringa juice mix with fruits in supermarkets.
I am in St. Vincent, have moringa, but never heard of "moringa juice mix with fruits......." Can u tell me more? Is that the reason for Chris Gale and Bolt and....?
This tree from India made it to Africa and people with malnutrition have greatly benefited from its goodness. I believe it has a lot of iron and being from south India, the sticks that grow out of this tree when cooked as sambar is a joy. The sambar has a great taste and favorite vegetable for sambar in south.
Moringa is our favorite leaves veggies in the Philippines, added to almost anything like beans, soups, burger , salad, etc. Thanks that you like it. 🙏 Watching from California 🇺🇸
Also it has every essential amino acid! And very oily, I mix a tea spoon of powder and the water becomes oily this shows how much healthy oils it has in
We got a lot in our island Bali, my wife cooks as a soup as my favorite one. She cooks with simple way and I love so much. And just realize so many nutrition. Locally we called KELOR
Hi Pete. I visited a goat farm where they make organic goats milk and they only feed the goats moringa to keep the goats healthy. They grow the plant there on the farm for the goats. That was near Lake Chapala, Mexico.
I am from TAMIL NADU , moringa is known as MURUNGA KEERAI in tamil It takes a part in a week in our daily food We also eat MURUNGA KAAI(drum stick) , MURUNGA POO(flower) These also a very nutritious food. கலாச்சாரம் வீரம் இறக்கம் அன்பு பண்பு நிறைந்த தமிழகத்தில் இருந்து தமிழன்🙏
I planted them a while ago. Less than a year. I bought the seeds off of eBay. I’m in south Florida and it does grow like a weed. I eat it fresh and have never tried to powder it. I also give it to my dog. He eats it fresh and loves it.
Love these trees! I grow them at 4500’ elevation in AZ, they die off in the winter but plant new trees from seed in the spring. These things have grown 12’ tall in just a single summer. I toss fresh leaves into my morning smoothie, easy way to get the nutrition without the extra work of drying or making into a powder.
@Papa Jose l am surprised they say native to India because its every where in Africa where they probably had not had any contact with India or anyone that was ever there .

Thank You So Much for the Responsible Farming! Moringa Oleifera looks Nutritious! 🌷🕊
I have this plant here in Rome,Italy. Awesome Plant. The MIRACLE PLANT
here in the Philippines, we love putting Moringa leaves as a toppings on our Chicken Tinola. At least one household has a tree and the whole neighborhood asks some stem leaves at least several times a week.
It is good with crabs 🦀 , prawns or shrimps🦐 curry with coconut milk. Yummy 😋 .We eat in Srilanka.
Better late than never. Just found this one. I have eight seedlings started and my kids are already tasting the leaves. Seems that the more mature leaves have less "horse radish" effect. Thanks to everyone for all the references to dishes that it can be used in I like to use my super-foods in dishes for my family. I find so many things that grow well with less effort and pests from my ethnic friends. Keep up the good work. Variety is the spice of life and it keeps the bugs confused!
Its also good on baking bread when its air dried.
We just bought three of these today from HEART Village! Thanks for sharing the video with them.
Sweet! Love those guys.
When I was in Philippines last year we made tea from the leaves. I love it and hope it will survive in my area.
malunggay its what we called in the Philippines,, the fruit its also good for cooking with pumpkin,,, Nice one brother
I love your enthusiasm,, it’s contagious ♥️
Moringa grows from crafting as well. It has a fruit called drumstick which when cooked with lentils, is delicious as soup. The leaves are better when cooked.... butter on a pan, chopped shallots &garlic, chilli flakes saute then add moringa leaves...sprinkle water, cover simmer.it is ready. You can have with grill fish. ( Leaves are easy to cook when after the branches are snapped, leave them in room temperature, the leaves wither after two hours )
Thank you. An actual recipe.
it's like 10 cents a pound in India 😂 we have about 5 of these we eat the vegetable "drumstick" too it's yum
Aka in the Philippines as Malungay. I am from, Hawai'i and we learned from the, Filipinos on how to use this awesome tree!
I’m in Western Australia
We have two in pots!
Awesome!
Husband is Timorese, Aussie. Love it!
A very Powerful healing plant.
The leaves of moringa also contain the flavanoid Quercitin. It is an antioxidant, but more importantly it can induce cell autophagy. Best to be careful, this can have powerful impacts. But triggering autophagy a few times a year can be very healthy. Like fasting.
We have one Growing Great and blooming on our deck in Southern Oregon in a big pot here at the end of September! In the Winter I bring them in like a houseplant next to a Southern facing window. Dies back a little by the end of winter but recovers amazingly, we love the taste some of our friends think it’s too spicy, I eat some everyday and have noticed a big difference in my health! Thank you for still spreading the word about Moringa. Everyone needs to grow it or at least buy some dried powder and share with their friends and family.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing
Biggest mistake with Moringa is too much water! Also exposing them to too cold of temperature. They can grow in very poor soil, we provide great soil with a little from our compost pile. Our biggest one about 6 feet bloomed again this year and produced tiny pods but they died off, so Oregon is not the place to get pods with the seeds, but the leaves are a great snack as your walking around the garden in the Summer.
Thanks for sharing this. I will do the same. I was wondering how to preserve it in winter. In know its tough but better half bread than nothing. 💚💚💚
Moringa is Tamil word. Drumstick plant leaves is rich in iron ! I love this plant :)
Exactly what is the plant usage
Popular vegetable in Philippines and my favourite vegetables..lot of vitamins
I made some tea from the dried moringa flowers today..drank it plain.grows well here in Barbados.
First time I have heard about it - It sounds amazing.
We eat it a lot in Northern Nigeria. It’s called “Zogale”
i will remember that word, Zogale. sounds like a nice name for a healthy restaurant.
I have two just started a year ago in my yard (Southern California) and we have harvested once already! It was delicious in chicken tenola. The extra leaves, my wife freezed it. I had problems getting the branches started early on but removing all the blooms solved my problem. Now I'm ready to harvest again before the cold snap in winter. In our Cebu dialect we call it Kamunggay! Some folks back home stick branches of Kamunggay close together in a line and Before you know it -- you have a beautiful living fence!
Kalamungge for us in Pampanga.
I'am from the Philippines and Moringa is well known vegetable tree there, everyone likes Moringa. Even I live in Florida now, I planted some moringa and I like it a lot.
I started a Moringa tree farm in Myakka Florida. I swear by the health benefits of the leaves. I make the powder and capsules. I personally drink it in loose leaf tea form. No sugar or honey just dried lemongrass or ginger. It helps control my type 2 diabetes.
Been eating that since childhood. We mix that in our soups. It is good for breastfeeding mothers, helps in milk production.
Omg that's our country's treasure (India tamilnadu😎)
Omg it's also our country's treasure in Bangladesh . The Bengali name of Moringa is Sajna .
@@KamrulIslam-dc1zn Omg, it's also our state's treasure in Andhra Pradesh . The Telugu name of Moringa is Munaga (మునగ)/ Mulaga (ములగ).
@@chandrasekhar4087 In this vlog they discussed about the leafs of Moringa , the nutrition facts of Moringa leafs , tablets made out of Moringa leafs or consumption of Moringa leafs . But , in Bangladesh we do not consume leafs of Moringa . We consume the vegetable Moringa , in Bengali Moringa is called Sajna . OMG Moringa is not a national treasure in Bangladesh . But , it's a good idea to consider Moringa as a national treasure , because thus you evaluate the nutritional values of Moringa .
@@KamrulIslam-dc1zn Good that you consider good ideas as a national treasure. This is the essence of Hinduism, accept light (wisdom) from wherever it comes. Mulaga is definitely a wonder plant. Use it or perish. We use it almost daily in some or other form.
@@chandrasekhar4087 About the Moringa , we the people of Bangladesh did not know about the nutritional values of Moringa until some news media reported about the nutritional values of Moringa . The people of India are wise and have the knowledge and wisdom to utilize the things of nature for the welfare of people . The Hindu religion is a religion of wisdom and knowledge .
One of my favorite!nutritious and healthy. Many uses in the kitchen and even for lactating mothers. Can be use in bread like pan de sal. I have planted many in my front lawn since it is easy to grow and low maintenance...but my own personal favorite is adding it to cook tinola. It is called "malunggay" over here
That is true Murungai maram.. the Murungai keerai recipes would be great
here in the philippines that's so ordinary,.. a gift from god
I drink it as a tea. Can I still eat salads . I have arthritis and I heard it was good for pain . Thank you for the video ❤
Im a Fiji Indian and we have been eating this for 100s of years - we call it Saijan. Its used in soups, dhal, and eaten on its own as bhaji with roti. Pods are used in dhal soups.
Hei mister
Perkenalkan saya Harum saya berasal dari indonesia, jika mister membutuhkan kelor/moringa, saya ada banyak moringa, satu minggu saya ready 10ton moringga kering siap giling, trimakasih
Thanks for uploading this video. This tree leaves have more irons and to more vitamins also. It’s give awesome taste. In Tamil we called it as Murungai Maram (tree).
I am from Kerala, India and we called this plant as Muringa . We have been using this for centuries. Our forefathers realized the nutritional factors long time ago.
Nammalara ...makkal
Sadhanam kayyilundo😁
Yes the best tress in the world
Good friend to share, Medicinal Plant, it good for health 👍🏻👍
I have a big tree of moringa on my yard, I sauteed its leaves and its delicious, its all over the Phils
they're also good for livestock. our chickens love moringa.
oh really.....so you give the leaves straight to the chickens or you grind and add to water?
I ordered some seeds from India and I got one tree that made it..I have it in a pot and plan on bringing it inside for the winter.
👍I'm adding one teaspoon of Moringa to my yogurt . Delicious flavor 😋 Very energetical 👏
Munagaku in telugu we have 4 trees and it gives many drumsticks it contains multiple medical resources it is very useful thanks to God for giving such a good plant in southern India
I am from India and I am used to drumsticks and 'moringa' leaves. It fruits only once a year. It grows as a wild plant, but we never knew that we could trim it like shown in this youtube. This is easy to manage.
When I was kid my mother use to cook moringa on regular basis. My childhood associated with morning's test...
Moringa fruit commonly know as drum sticks or in North India it is locally known as *sehjan ki fali* , also used in South Indian dishes. This tree blooms almost throughout the year, it's flowers are also edible.
Very Commonly used in "Sambar" all throughout India particularly in South India and Maharashtra.
Thanks for the info God I'm a South African and love this herb and flowers and drum sticks eat all the time
I have one in my front garden.....I love the flowers....they taste great!!
Definitely awesome to get a solid nutritional value on Moringa
I think it’s worth mentioning that moringa looks scraggly the first couple years but it seems if hard pruned yearly it really starts to fill out and look nice usually by third year.
Yup! Pruning is key with this one. We start at 4-6 months with then first tipping.
yes and not all seeds are the same. I bought a big bag of seeds to eat and decided to try and grow some. They all got about 8" tall max and looked bad.. Eventually they all died. I tried this for 2 years in a row. Then I thought maybe the seeds were bad. So I bought 5 seeds from someone on eBay and they have all sprouted and seem to be looking much better than the other batch. Just transplanted on into a larger pot.. So they must radiate or do something to some of the seeds sold to eat so you can't grow your own. I was gonna sprout a bunch and plant them along the railroad tracks near my house for emergency food.
Knowledge Will Increase I agree. I planted 10 seeds in one area. Nine of the trees had about a one inch diameter by the end of the season. One had a five inch diameter. Some just take off!
@@TheChenny73 Thanks, good to know.
Rice Panday every part of moriga useful!
I'm living in Jamaica and it grows well here too I have two growing in my backyard and I've harvested so many seeds. My dad also have 5 trees as well. We have moringa juice mix with fruits in supermarkets.
How cool to hear it’s in the supermarkets! The tree of life 🙌
I am in St. Vincent, have moringa, but never heard of "moringa juice mix with fruits......." Can u tell me more? Is that the reason for Chris Gale and Bolt and....?
This is so good for health especially blood pressure!
Multi vitamins moringa tree .
This tree is very popular in our community every house is planting this ornamental trees .
I am from 🇮🇳 and it is known as Sahajan in our India. It has great Ayurvedic importance in our India.
This tree from India made it to Africa and people with malnutrition have greatly benefited from its goodness. I believe it has a lot of iron and being from south India, the sticks that grow out of this tree when cooked as sambar is a joy. The sambar has a great taste and favorite vegetable for sambar in south.
It grows here since centuries ago, so no attachment to whether it came from India down to MOTHER of all continents with her abundant riches.
@@BL-qd3ed all good. Good to know it grows in other parts of world too. Leant something.
Anyways, it is a vegetable to enjoy.
I'am from Indonesia. I like moringa, in indonesia I call it "kelor". Everyday I eat it.
India Call it sojna
Neng jowo godong kelor ki demit wedi😆
@@Goloo454 In Andhra Pradesh we call it Mulaga/ Munaga.
Ini bagus buat ibu menyusui bukan ya?
@@ahmadsyukribaraqbah5185 kalo buat ibu menyusui mah daun katuk. Beda.. ini daun kelor
முருங்கை... Murunggai. God"s gift to humankind.

Hi Pete. I visited a goat farm where they make organic goats milk and they only feed the goats moringa to keep the goats healthy. They grow the plant there on the farm for the goats. That was near Lake Chapala, Mexico.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing
Goats need and crave for mineral salts and moringa provides them easily. Same for chicken and pigs.
Sounds like Kudzu twenty years ago ! 🧐🥴
@@VagoniusThicket - 🚨Troll Alert! Troll Alert!🚨 🚔
I think that is calamungai. It grows all over here in Hawaii and we cook with it. Filipino men have told me it keeps them virile 😉
We call it Munga. Everywhere in india. We all like it in chhattisgarh india.
So true!!! Given during pregnancy as super food in South India.
Namaste from Bangalore...
I am from TAMIL NADU , moringa is known as MURUNGA KEERAI in tamil
It takes a part in a week in our daily food
We also eat MURUNGA KAAI(drum stick) , MURUNGA POO(flower)
These also a very nutritious food.

my father has 7 trees of it. on a daily bases he earns Rs.150 Indian money. after dellivery also we use it a lot.
That's awesome👏
Where we can sell it i also hv 3 trees
INDEPENDENT RUclipsR
well in India especially in southern part its consider to be very special. so people buy it on regular basis. used in sambar.
In South India, around 3000 years, it is part of food..it is also known "one stop solution for all health issues"..
New subs here🇨🇦 I think we call it Malunggay in the Philippines…100% sure. Good to add to sauté veggies, you can add to meat soup👍👍👍love it
I planted them a while ago. Less than a year. I bought the seeds off of eBay. I’m in south Florida and it does grow like a weed. I eat it fresh and have never tried to powder it. I also give it to my dog. He eats it fresh and loves it.
Love these trees! I grow them at 4500’ elevation in AZ, they die off in the winter but plant new trees from seed in the spring. These things have grown 12’ tall in just a single summer. I toss fresh leaves into my morning smoothie, easy way to get the nutrition without the extra work of drying or making into a powder.
Awesome Steve! Love to hear this, thanks for sharing 👊
What do you include in your smoothie?Because the taste of fresh moringa leaves is not very appealing.
Sounds like a great source of food for tilapia in an aquaponics system.
Yup! Local Aquaponics farm uses it just for that :)
Moringa actually derived from murungai Tamil word. Southen part of India
Gowtham Raghavan.R trust me they going to bring panai maram too. And they going to get the rights too. Lol
@Papa Jose l am surprised they say native to India because its every where in Africa where they probably had not had any contact with India or anyone that was ever there .
And munga in North india one can found this in every backyard here ...
Moringa in Malayalam 😅

Amazing.. We had a lot with lentil soup during my childhood days. Bring on the moringa leaves and supplements. Tea too.
moringa or malungay is just growing almost on every backyard here in mindanao philippines :) pair that with mongo or mug beans + coconut milk :)
