We planted our first moringa trees in Opp, Alabama in 2011. At the time, almost nobody in this part of the country was growing it. We'd read enough about the plant to think it was worth trying in Zone 8, and it turned out moringa loved south Alabama. We've been growing it here ever since.
Most moringa sold in the US comes from India or East Africa, dried and bagged overseas, then shipped to a distributor, then to a warehouse, then to you. Ours goes from our field to your order. We harvest the leaves by hand, dry them at low temperature to preserve the nutritional profile, and process everything in small batches here on the farm. There's no supply chain to wonder about.
Moringa leaves carry a wide range of nutrients including amino acids, vitamins A, C, and E, calcium, potassium, iron, and antioxidant compounds that have drawn serious scientific attention over the past two decades. It's a plant that's been used as food and medicine across tropical regions for centuries, and for good reason. We're not going to oversell it. It's not magic. But it's one of the most nutritious plants we grow, and we grow a lot of plants.
We offer moringa as dried whole leaf, leaf powder, capsules, seed powder capsules, and in a couple of hand-blended teas. Which form makes sense depends on how you want to use it.
How to Choose
- Leaf → best for tea and long-term storage
- Powder → best for smoothies, cooking, and versatility
- Capsules → best for convenience without taste
- Seed Powder Capsules → made from the moringa seed, different nutritional profile than leaf
