Description
The moringa tree is native to northern India south of the Himalayan Mountains. Nearly every part of the moringa tree is edible. It is widely used as food and medicine. When dried, its leaves can be ground into a fine powder that will keep many months without refrigeration.
 
How to Use
Using moringa couldn't be easier - just mix 1-2 teaspoons (or half a teaspoon if you're just starting out) into any dish or drink that could benefit from a sprinkling of spinachy greens.
