  • My 42yr old son had major surgery after crushing a kidney stone & his Uretra was cut near his prostate ; he began to use the moringa a month after his surgery as his health went down hill over the past months trying to get the surgery for 10 months he couldnt work as collapse on his job ; after he used it for 1 month he began to watch the tv with his glasses & his general health improved so far he is in very good health now

    My best friend gave me an awesome gift she knows I would love. A dried Moringa pod with 6 seeds inside. I soaked and planted and now I have 6 baby trees. Best gift ever.

    Hi, There is an old saying in Tamil language that "Murungaya vechavan verum kaiyya povan" ( The one plants moringa tree will go empty handed) and it actually means that, The one who plants the moringa tree in their house and then consumes the leaves cooked, Drumstick cooked, will never needs a walking stick. He / she can walk freely with no support in his/ her later ages. And it is. The power of moringa Tree.
  • There is also a fruit tree i want to mention alongside the Moringa tree and that is the Graviola plant or fruit with its leaves. Oncologists will hate me for propagate it because its cancer preventing as well as cancer healing. Also called sour soup. Amazing how these plants are all been found in the tropical Indonesian islands.

    Here in the Philippines, almost every house property has a Moringa tree. We call it Malunggay. It's even planted on empty lots. We use it in many of our recipes.

    I grind the leaves to a fine powder and put it into a shaker bottle. I sprinkle it over food and mix it into mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt. It adds very little flavor, gives it a nice color and of course adds the nutritional benefits.

    I love the little hand reaching up to grab a leaf at around the five-minute mark!

    I've found a nice way to enjoy it. 1 tsp raw cacao powder, 1 tsp moringa leaf powder, 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder, mix. Add 2-3 tsp maple syrup, and then boiling water (leaving room for milk of choice). Stir until all powders are dissolved, then add milk.
  • I live on the coast in Perth West Aussie and have 5 amazing moringa trees. They get chopped down every winter and all the dried leaves are turned into sifted fine powder. You made me realise that I am not utilising the tree to its full potential. Thanks. Ps. Happy Arizona memories. ……lived there for 2 years as a young Mum. Loved it!!
  • This tree has an abundance of nutrients and health significance. My African ancestors have benefited from certain species of this tree for centuries. Thanks for bringing light to this.

    I went to Kenya to visit my husband family and saw a moringa tree in his cousins front yard. I’m living in Texas. He gave me some seeds and I planted it 2 weeks ago. It’s now 5 inches tall! I hope it will survive here..
  • I think one of the most fun parts of this video was the baby working the water tap to make water balloons in the background towards the end. Sweet little guy.

    You can also eat the long pods it grows. You can cook it in lentils or beans and it’s very delicious.

    I based my college speech on this tree, I finally found a tree. Great choice.

    We have endless mesquite trees in our area in Arizona. I grind mesquite powder every year, you should look up the "super food" of mesquite. With Morenga and Mequite, you will have plenty of proteins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and other great elements.
  • Thank you for posting. We used to grow just eating this tree leaves cooked with salt, little oil and chilli. That was a staple food during our childhood days. As little boys we used to cook them in mud pots in village gardens. I am from Tamilnadu India. We call it MURUNGAI in Tamil

    Yes, I believe the Bible talks about this. I just received seeds from Bakers Creek, and the directions tell you to soak the seeds in warm water for 2 days, changing the water each daily. I was told Moringa was good for arthritis pain and your lungs. I had Covid-19, and I thought that wasn't going to survive. Now my lings hurt all the time. Also, we will have a food shortage, so this tree just might be a ticket for survival. People in my area are stealing fruit from my tree, but they don't know this is much better for you. Love the baby in your video. .

    There's a story in the bible that God told the people to put a branch of a certain tree into the bitter water and it became clean to drink...could it be the morninga tree😀👍🌿
  • In north FL, zone 8b, my trees don't get that large. They die back in winter, and new trunks grow back from the roots. They are pretty, "airy" trees, and I enjoy having them. :) Thank you for the video!

    Reason number 7, moringa actually likes to be trimmed or harvested and will grow faster and thicker if you do so. 🤗 Without fail, every time a branch gets two to three foot long, cut half of it off. Watch how fast your tree fills out! Bonus, it creates a lot of nutritious mulch! 🤗 Reason number 8, use a bucket full of leaves and small green branches to make fermented plant juice fertilizer. It's actually more nutritious for your plants then the fpj made from comfrey! 🤗
