A True Superfood: Moringa

I start every morning with a protein shake complete with a healthy dose of powdered greens.  I am used to the usual mix of greens: spinach, broccoli, chlorella, spirulina, etc.  So I was very interested when a new powdered green hit the market.

Moringa, native to India, is now being touted as the cure for malnutrition worldwide.  Gram for gram, it has more B12 than a steak, more vitamin A than eggs, and more calcium than milk!  And it can be harvested every 45-60 days during the warm seasons.  It also holds a spectrum of trace minerals, vitamins, amino acids,  and antioxidants.  In India, Moringa was traditionally eaten as a vegetable for stamina and strength.  Now it is believed to protect the liver, boost immunity, support healthy blood sugar levels, heart health.... the list goes on and on.

Here at the Co-op our Moringa comes from the Organic India company where  it is sustainably harvested and organically grown.  With over 96 nutrients and 46 antioxidants it truly is a Superfood.
