Date: August 17, 2015 08:41PM The asian farmer was pushing me to buy moringa leaves at the farmers market. I looked up the nutrition facts and I was very impressed. Check out the calcium, iron and protein levels.
They are kind of chewy and not tender. They have a neutral taste. They are not juicy, so I personally would not try juicing them. I also can't imagine just chewing them. SO the only option I see is making them into a smoothie. I plan on buying them every week and growing my own tree.

What does the phytochemical content look like? It appears to be a great source of vitamins, minerals, and protein, but that's the easy stuff to get! Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 08/17/2015 09:22PM by jtprindl. Re: Raw fresh Moringa smoothie

The salad dressing looks SUPER awesome. Might try that some time. Can you tell me how you sprouted your pumpkin and sunflower seeds? I also love basil. Fresh moringa leaves taste nice to me. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
