~ SUPER NUTRITION - RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD! ~
If you love salad greens, spinach, collards, and other greens, you will LOVE moringa! Right off the tree, it almost has a spinach-watercress taste. Steamed, or sautéed with a touch of butter, olive oil or coconut oil, it almost tastes like "pecan" spinach. It is tender, delicious, and highly nutritious. It is also one FAST growing tree! Some Moringa trees are slender, some have "bottle trunks", some are tuberous. All of them are beneficial.

Rather recently, I was introduced to Moringa. With the exorbitant cost of fresh food at the grocery stores and supermarkets, we decided to plant as much in the way of edible landscaping as we could. Planting Moringa was essential. It is one incredible powerhouse of fresh nutrition.

Above is a photo of the top of one of my Moringa trees. It is about 4' tall, at only a few months old. Already, we have picked and eaten a lot of the leaves. Moringa can be grown in your yard, in your garden, as a windbreak, as a hedge, or in a container - inside or out. It is basically a tropical tree, so it loves water, sunlight, and warmth. Moringa Oleifera is one
of the fastest-growing biomasses on the planet - easy to grow, and wonderful to eat.

We recommend that you eat the leaves - fresh, cooked, or dried, the flowers - cooked, the young pods - cooked, and the seeds - cooked. Moringa seeds, crushed into powder, can be used to purify water. The ROOT - which tastes like horseradish - LEAVE ALONE . The root bark contains a substance that can be extremely toxic to your nervous system. Too much of it can harm you. How much? No one seems to know. Our advice - don't eat it!

Worldwide, Moringa is known by many names. No matter what you call it, Moringa is a one valuable tree. Rarely can you plant anything that grows so fast, packs so
much nutrition, eye appeal, and soil retention properties, as does the humble Moringa. It usually takes just one encounter with
Moringa, to feel
