Moringa has earned the nickname “the miracle tree” for good reason: its leaves pack protein, iron, calcium and a wide spread of vitamins into a vivid green powder that keeps almost indefinitely. It is one of the fastest-growing superfoods in the wellness world — and, as a light dry powder, one of the easiest to ship. Here is what moringa is, its benefits, and how to use and buy it.

What is moringa?

Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a fast-growing tree native to Africa and South Asia. Its small green leaves are dried gently and milled into a bright green powder that holds onto its colour and nutrition.

Almost every part of the tree is useful, but it is the leaf powder that has become a global superfood staple — concentrated, shelf-stable and easy to add to everyday food.

What does moringa taste like?

Smoothies, juices and green shots

Soups, stews and sauces
