The dry moringa leaf is an excellent substitute for the fresh. It can be used in just about any way that fresh can be used. Add it to salads, soups, or your favorite chicken, fish or shrimp dishes at the end of the cooking cycle. The dry leaf reconstitutes with the liquids or dressings and takes on the appearance of fresh leaf.
Dry leaf does not have to be cooked very long, just five to ten minutes at most. Often referred to as the "miracle tree" because of its uniquely diverse array of nutritional, medicinal, and purifying properties, the Moringa Tree is a "superfood" treasure with incredible potential to greatly improve health and eliminate hunger around the world! Because of its many valuable uses, and the fact that it grows so quickly and easily in semi-arid, tropical, and subtropical climates, the Moringa tree is quickly becoming the go-to plant for combating malnutrition, treating inflammation, promoting healthy blood flow, aiding nursing mothers and preventing infection, among many other things.
What is particularly unique about Moringa tree is the fact that every part of the tree, including its bark, leaves, seed pods, flowers, seeds and roots serves a unique purpose in promoting human health and wellbeing. Rich in amino acids - the leaves of the Moringa tree contain 18 amino acids, eight of which are essential amino acids, making them a "complete" protein - a rarity in the plant world. Indeed, Moringa tree protein content rivals that of meat, making it an excellent source of protein for vegetarians and vegans.
